Cycle Messenger World Championship 2008 to be held in Toronto
This is kinda old news, but I just found out about it. Toronto is hosting the 2008 Cycle Messenger World Championships (CMWC). And judging from the website and events listed, it's becoming more of a family friendly, sporting event.
I beleive Toronto is close enough to Rochester to consider attending with the family. Do some racing, some camping and some culture assimilation. Sounds like fun.
About the CMWC
The Cycle Messenger World Championships (CMWC) is the ultimate urban cycling competition. The strongest, smartest and fastest bike messengers from across the planet converge once a year to determine who is the best in a variety of events that test riders’ physical and mental limits. It is a fully insured competition on a closed course that is sanctioned by the International Federation of Bike Messengers Associations (IFBMA). While most competitors are bike messengers, events are open to everyone, and many non-messengers enjoy the challenge of the competition.
CMWC is a world championship sporting event, but it is also a world festival celebrating messenger culture and its broad influence on modern urban culture. CMWC hosts a variety of related galas, shows, parties and vendor markets where spectators mingle with messengers to get a jump on the latest bike trends and urban utilitarian fashion. The side events showcase the artistic, photographic, musical and literary talents of the world’s hardest working professional athletes.
June 13 is gonna come up fast. Now I gotta clear it with the wife.
