Registration is now open for B.C. Superweek, the more-than-a-week week in July when national and international pro cyclists return to the Lower Mainland for nine races in 10 days.
Held in seven different cities from July 4 to 13, B.C. Superweek starts with the Tour de Delta and then hits Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»streets for two criterium races.
The UBC Grand Prix, sponsored by Mahony & Sons Public House, is held on a very technical course on July 8. There are races for professional men and women and Cat 3/4 men and, for the first time, Cat ¾ women. Organizers promise the purse will be a minimum $10,000.
The Gastown Grand Prix, whose title sponsor is Global Relay, became a member of the prestigious championship series, USA CRITS, in February. The men’s and women’s races, held this year July 9, counts the highest single-day purse for a Canadian criterium. That prize is $50,000. The cobblestone streets and crowds are fantastic.
