The Bikeville Classic - April 16 and 17, 2016
(http://www.bikevilleclassic.com/img/Natls/start-line-5.png)

Note -- the TTT course is on the INTERSTATE!
It's a toll road with very little traffic. I'm sure they are closing it for the race but it's just crazy to think about using the interstate for a race.

We have a fondo here where they close 1/2 of the highway between Vancouver and Whislter. Its pretty cool to have 2 to 3 lanes of smooth highway for 122 km just for you and 8 thousand of your best friends to ride.

That sounds like great fun.

My DH tells me the TTT championship was held here last year on the same course but it was during tax season so he didn't mention it to me. Maybe I was better off not knowing about it.

Its a blast.  If you are ever in Vancouver in September you should totally ride the Whistler Granfondo.
