I wish these guys were doing two laps, but the weather is going to be pretty crappy tomorrow morning and this looks like the best bet for getting a 2+ hour ride in, and is probably more fun than ISLAGIATT which was my other option.
After it's over I'll do one more climb up the epic KOM and whatever else it takes to round it out to 2 hours if anyone wants to join me.

Welcome to the Garneau Sportive Series. What's a sportive? A sportive (or Fondo) is a mass-participation event. It's a personal battle against others and the clock. There are no ride leaders and each week the course will change to keep the event fresh.
IS IT A RACE?
Some Zwifters will ride the event like a race. Others just want to finish. The goal is to complete the ride and have fun no matter what pace you ride.
