The cobblestoned streets of Gastown come alive Jul. 11 for the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix. This thrilling race attracts elite cyclists from around the world—including, back in 1991, Lance Armstrong—with a route that loops around landmarks such as the Gastown Steam Clock and statue of Gassy Jack. The action starts at 5:45 p.m., but arrive early, as 45,000 spectators are expected.—Sheri Radford
