The Gastown Grand Prix is impressive.
It's hard to hide your excitement for a two-part, all-day-and-night race that whips around the most famous corners and sections of Vancouver's oldest – and most beautiful – neighbourhood. Gassy Jack looks on, the Steam Clock has a fit to mark the arrival of every hour and, on a perfectly sunny day like Wednesday, the streets are filled with thousands who are enjoying life and lapping up every inch of summer.
Congratulations to Grand Prix winners, Ken Hanson on the men's side and Leah Kirchmann on the women's, who join a long line of winners dating back to the event's inception in 1973.
