Find yourself a place on the sidewalk.
Then stand back. World-renowned cyclists are about to
race right past you. Scores of them. You’ll see
them fly up Water Street. Then lean into the hairpin
turn at Cordova Street. They’ll dash to Maple
Tree Square and Gassy Jack’s statue, then tear
back up Water Street to the finish line at the Steamclock.
Looking for breath-taking excitement? Get in on the
race.
