Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Vancouver tuesday night world race?

I am headed to Vancouver this summer for a week and would love to race one of these races. I am a Cat3 masters racer. Does anyone know about this series and how I would go about racing a night? Also, would need to rent a bike, any suggestions? Thanks.

Tue night races alternate between UBC and Glenlyon (South Vancouver)

I’ve never rented bikes in Vancouver but Speed Theory is a decent shop:
Rentals ? Speed Theory

Good luck!

That will be a good time. Bring your A-Game. There a lot of talented riders up in B.C.

Getting closer to heading to Vancouver. Any other recommendations for a race bike rental? So, far not having much luck as racing can be risky and the shops I have been in touch with don't want that risk. I have rented from English Bay before, and they have a specialized Allez, maybe that would be the easiest.

Also, would love to join a group ride if you all know of one and can recommend something.

It's the Tour de Delta this weekend (Tour de Delta ? Part of BC Superweek), part of BC Speedweek (BC Superweek ? July 6th-15th, 2018). Lots of great racing.
