Re: [81attendees] Fireworks Wednesday evening?

There will be special bus in function for the fireworks events
http://www.rtcquebec.ca/NewCustomer/NewCustomer/tabid/272/Default.aspx
I live in Quebec and only heard praise for those who take the bus during
these event.

The cost is 15 $ for the show. see

I agree, that the bike  is beautyful ride and is about 12 km, but at the end
of the evening, you must ride back the 12 km. Also a fanstastic ride, if the
temperature and time permit.
