Right out of the chute, let me apologize to you all for filing my post so late! I was just lounging around the house earlier when I spontaneously decided to go watch the Giro di Burnaby up in the Heights. My significant other was volunteering during the event, and her contribution could only begin after the conclusion of the race. But I am so glad I went there in time to see the races - it was quite the sight to see Hastings Street transformed into a road racing track between Rosser and MacDonald. And after a hiatus of two years, the crowd of spectators was impressive. The Giro di Burnaby is part of BC Superweek, a series of races that includes the UBC Grand Prix which happened this past Tuesday and the Tour de White Rock tomorrow.

I saw a lot of people taking photographs of the event, and I tried my hand at it myself. Stewart was there - and he was able to really convey the sense of motion and speed in the photograph you see below from the 2011 Giro di Burnaby.
