Where does this interview take place?M: Good morning, this is Allen broadcasting from university radio. In the local news this morning, the mountain-lake cycle tour is about to begin, and in the studio, we have with us Marilen O’conner, president of the Ottawa bicycle club, the tour’s sponsor Can you tell us what the tour’s all about?
W: Well, Allen, the mountain-lake cycle tour is a bicycle tour from Ottawa to Kingston and hack. It is not a race, but more like an endurance test for recreational cyclists. People do it for fitness and fun and try to better their time every year.
M: How long will it take to cycle one-way, Marilen?
W: About seven to nine hours for the average cyclists. Racers can do it in four hours. But I said, the tour is not intended to be a race.
M: How many people will be taking part this year?
W: This is our biggest year ever. We have twelve hundred cyclists registered.
M: I bet they’ll block the road when the cyclists start out?
W: Don’t worry; we’ve introduced staggered starts to avoid these problems. Our first group will leave Ottawa at seven o’clock, and other groups will follow every twenty minutes.
M: Thank you. Marilen, Now down to the starting line of the university. In the radio studio. In the bicycle shop. On the road.
