We follow on a long six-lane tree covered avenue. Dust erupts from soccer fields laid end to end along our route. Down about a mile in the median dividing the two directions is a table and some people and some bikes. This must be it. But this is a busy avenue, how could they close this.
Registration is situated across the street from a track.
There is what looks like a small velodrome. I busy myself getting registered but in the background notice that there is music coming from the track. It s about 5 till 10 when I ask about the course. Someone tells me that it goes out to where you can cross the median, and back. A huge elongated oval.
