I'm coming from Toronto for the ride. The bike I've been training on is nothing great, though I don't feel like buying a new ride for the RTCC.
Cyclepath in Toronto rents decent quality road bikes, but they are sold out already for July 11/12. It got me to thinking that perhaps there is a shop in Montreal that would rent a bike. I need two.
there are lots of shops in Montreal - maybe try googling montreal bicycle rentals?? I've never rented one so I don't know for sure which one has good bikes or not but you can start by calling I guess... good luck!
Thanks, Mermaid....I actually rented a high quality bike from Enduro Sport in Toronto and will bring it with me - the rent the "Nineteen Advantage" which should be much better than my mountain bike I'm using for training. Its seventy bucks for a week, so I'll pick it up a few days before heading to montreal so I can get used to it.
