You can see this view from several photos.<BR/><BR/>The intersection at Salt Spring Valley Road (I think) just to give the strung out riders a bit of encouragement.<BR/><BR/>If you decide to spectate and drive the course, beware on the descent. The riders will probably be willing to go faster than you will. A couple of cars got mixed up with racers last year.
