The eleventh St-Laurent long-distance bicycle race, in 1964, with participants from thirteen countries, and with 2 400 km of the Québec Gaspé countryside to cover in twelve days--a course longer than those of Italy, Belgium or Spain. With the curving landscape of this most picturesque province as backdrop, you see here a sports event where the challenge seems more personal than competitive.
