Tour de Hawke
becomes local
sports classic

THREE YEARS AGO,
Brian ‘The Hawk’ Hake, a
26-year-old North Shore
fireman, organized 18
friends for an informal bicy-
cle ride from the North
Shore to Wreck Beach.

This year, the ‘‘Tour de
Hawk’’ was so popular reg-
istration; had to ‘be cut at
110 cyclists.

A ride in the Tour de
Hawke, includes breakfast at
Hake’s residence, and
refreshment at the many
stops along the way. A fce
goes toward rental of vans
and trucks to carry the bikes
of riders who, for one
reason or another, are un-
willing or unable to make
the return trip.

Last year, 72 riders stop-
ped at Third Beach, took
refreshment, then pulled up
at English Bay, where Hake
gave an inspirational speech
in the style of Benito
Mussolini.

Filled with fresh zeal, the
Tour de Hawke pressed on
to Kits Beach where they
held a quick, 72-man
volleyball game.

The tour then invaded
Spanish Banks and treated
astonished onlookers to a
rousing choral version of
‘*Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot’’.

At Jericho Beach, one
overheated rider drove his
bike into a murky frog
pond. Witnesses said ‘the
just kept peddling until he
disappeared.'’

_ For a finale, the Tour de
Hawke swarmed down onto
Wreck Beach, where vans
were waiting with cold
refreshment. While slaking
their thirst, the group fielded
an impromptu entry into the
Wreck Beach Volleyball
Tournament. The Tour team
proceeded to whip all op-
position winning every game
before the riding schedule
forced it to move on.

Most riders chose to make
the return trip by van,
although some, (there are
some ex-professionals in the
tour), pedalled back to the
Capilano Rugby Club for a
wind-yp dinner.

The non-competitive event
was held Saturday, July 27.
