Purple Lucy in da howse!!! Very exciting-they were just starting to get all the tents set up for the different sponsors-(behind the stadium-North side-in case you're going) about 200 bikes there already, and people were streaming in. They'll cover the bikes with a tarp for the night and have secured the entire Ride perimeters-they were also setting up sound systems/music/stage..etc..which they won't leave unattended for the night Im sure. Bon ben..that's done-Woohoo-see you all tomorrow!
hey - I didn't see you!!! Here is the layout: http://ddkphotos.smugmug.com/gallery/8863509_bHRUA/1/587453016_H4xFP/Large
The route starts by going south along Viau/St. Clement to Notre Dame and then east... http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/qc/montreal/466124726712336589
Although I distinctly remember getting an e-mail saying we'd get the route today - apparently no one is getting it until tomorrow... I actually was driving down Viau and saw the signs so followed them a bit...
