Hi Team,
At the meeting Rich mentioned his idea of renting a Team house in Montreal for the UCI road world's this September 20-27. We have started looking and think we'd probably better book something soon or it's going to be difficult and expensive.
I did some looking on airbnb and it looks like in Montreal proper we would be looking at $4000+ and most are apartments. Across the river to the southeast, in the suburb of Brossard, things are cheaper and we'd have a backyard and, perhaps crucially, more parking. It's just over 10 miles to where the road races start, mostly on bike paths.
Here's the link to the best house I found, considering price (around $2500 for the week), sleeps 12 (7 beds/5 bedrooms, 2 baths), parking for 4 cars, gets great ratings.
It says an hour and 6 minutes but they obviously don't realize how fast we are!
Please let us know if you are interested and how many nights you think you'd do.
Schedule is:
Sun. 20th: M & W Elite TTs
Mon. 21st: U23 M & W TTs
Tues. 22nd: Mixed relay TT, M&W Jr TTs
Weds 23rd.: Training on Mt. Royal course
Thurs 24th: W U23, M Jr RRs
Fri. 25th: W Jr, M U23 RRs
Sat. 26: W Elite RR
Sun. 26: M Elite RR
Let us know what you think. It would be a great time. Some of us were at the Richmond Worlds in 2015 and we'll never forget it!
Best,
Jim
