July 23, 2003 (Vancouver, BC) –  Tonight Wednesday, July 23, 2003, the streets of Gastown will explode with the speed, sounds and colors of bicycle racing.  A record number of racers has been drawn to the crown jewel of criterium racing, where North America's top teams will square off to race for $10,000 in winnings!

With glorious, hot weather, bright colors and loud music, the streets of Gastown will look to shatter last year's attendance figures of 24,000!

Be sure to come early and visit the fastest riders in North America warming up in 'Team Alley' along Abbott Street, then visit the Expo along Cambie Street to pick up all the hottest gear before settling down to catch all the action.

Don't miss this celebration of speed!
