Local Spring Classics Update

We are fortunate enough to have two Spring Classics flavoured events coming up over the next two weekends here in the National Capital Region. The OBC's Paris-Roubaix from Almonte, Ontario, will run Sunday, and the West Quebec Wheelers will host their Mufferaw Joe Lucky 7 sportif on May 2nd, featuring a twist this year: teams of 7! I've posted the new map for the Roubaix below, followed by the lowdown for the Lucky 7. These deserve separate posts, but there are only so many days in the week!

Go here for the OBC's map for Sunday's Roubaix, and here for the map I made, which will provide a bit more info about elevation, etc.

Update from the organizers: BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION, PARKING IS VERY LIMITED AT THE COMMUNITY CENTRE. PLEASE LOOK FOR LEGAL ON-STREET PARKING. DO NOT PARK IN THE CHURCH PARKING LOT.

From the Wheelers site:

The Mufferaw Joe Spring Sportif RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE in 2010. This year we are adding a seven person team category for those of you who love company with your misery.
So we’re up the Valley agin’, my band o’ misfits, and we’re gonna have some right good times and get sore legs and blisters and saddlesores. In fact, there’s a rumour goin’ round that Blister and The Saddlesores might be playin’ the Quyon when we get back for chow and brews.
The ride will be about 130 km with some good dirty sections and some high speed jammin’.
