June 28, 2006 – With just days to go, the preparations are nearly complete for this year’s third edition of the Yaletown Grand Prix. With a weather forecast which promises blue skies and hot temperatures, there’ll be a great day of racing in Vancouver.

Despite the conflict with the Canadian National Championships being held in Quebec this weekend, the pro fields are starting to fill up with top racers like Alison Sydor, Kirk O’Bee, Scott Goguen and Max Plaxton. The racing is guaranteed to be as hot as the weather

Racers please note that on-line registration deadline is Thursday at 5pm and that will be the last chance to get the early-bird sign-up discount. There will be in-person registration available Friday night and Saturday at the Yaletown Brewing Company.

Just like last year, one the racing is done, the Yaletown Brewing Company will throw open its doors to host the best post-race party around, as racers, race crew and friends are invited to come celebrate the day.

This year the Yaletown Grand Prix will raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver who deliver a wide range of health, educational and recreational services to over 6000 local children annually.
