There will be lots of action on Delta's streets this weekend as the 14th edition of the Tour de Delta rolls into town Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
More than 200 cyclists from around North America and across the globe are poised to converge on the Lower Mainland for B.C. Superweek, which begins this weekend with the annual Tour de Delta.
Riders will share in a prize purse of $25,000 as they compete in three races over three days: the MK Delta Criterium on Friday in North Delta, the Brenco Criterium on Saturday in Ladner and the White Spot Delta Road Race on Sunday in Tsawwassen.
An added attraction this year to the White Spot Delta Road Race is the fact it's UCI sanctioned for both men and women. The men's race received international sanctioning last year and is being joined in that distinction by the women's race this year.
The sanctioning means the field for both races will feature even more world-class riders.
Youngsters will be able to experience the thrill of cycling by taking part in a Kids Crit, which are being held prior to the races in North Delta (Friday) and Ladner (Saturday).
