Queen’s Park Grand Prix

Back in September 19, Queen’s Park was surrounded by the sounds of cheering fans and clanging cowbells for the Queen’s Park Grand Prix. Hosted by Hello Velo, the Queen’s Park GP offered everyone a chance to see Canadian professional cyclists like Ryeder Hesjedal and Michael Barry both being notable riders in this year’s Tour de France. The race also featured many Canadian Cycling teams such as Hello Velo’s Darkhorse Flyers, Jet Fuel Coffee, and Team Planet Energy to name a few. I was too busy watching and yelling during the race to take many photos but I did manage to shoot a few shots of the Pro-Am race:
