GREAT CANADIAN STAGE RACE FROM THE 1960's One of the most visually exciting National Film Board productions from the 1960's was the short movie " 60 Cycles" , about Le Tour Cycliste du St.Laurent. Although the clothing, bikes, and equipment are vintage, the route is similar to stage races today and the event was obviously just as gruelling. Go here for a taste of international bike racing Canadian style.

OPEN MEETING
