It's 6:15 am right now, in the cavern of Hall A in the Direct Energy Centre, down at the Ex.
The hall is stripped to the concrete, and seems much bigger than it normally is. The 3000 riders, scores of volunteers and organizers are all milling about, grabbing breakfast and water, checking out their bikes and going through whatever specific ritual each has for starting the morning.
Almost everyone is wearing the yellow-and-blue jersey of the ride. The effect is of a room full of bees (there's also lots of buzz to add to the effect).
Heading out to the start line now. The ride begins in 20 minutes...
