For the east vs west challenge I would assume Yonge is the reference point for east side or west side. As far as a race route goes, I am a proponent for an alleycat style vs riding on a running track. If T.J. really wants to keep it away from traffic perhaps the Commisioners, Cherry, Unwin, Leslie loop could be an option. It is still on the street but with less in the way of random traffic and still has enough distance to make it interesting. I like the idea of having it alleycat style with maybe 4 or 5 different manifests...everyone goes at once, and then just award points based on finishing order. This would split people up to a fair degree and then the whole city is our playground. I hereby offer up the back alley at the shop for post race festivities....perhaps a nice keg from Mill St? the brewmaster there is a customer. I have a digital projector that we could show some movies on the wall with. This could be the first feature. My favorite line..."with her mustard shoes and ketchup sash shes a real HOT DOG!"
