BC Superweek kicked off with the Tour de Delta from July 11-13. The Prologue was located in the heart of downtown Delta. There was 43 women from all over - New Zealand's Jazz Apples, Cheerwine Pro Cycling and ValueAct Capital just to name a few. Riders went flying down the start ramp every 30 seconds in attempts to set the fastest time. The course was about 3km long with four corners, one roundabout, and a short uphill finish. No pacing involved in this race folks - you go out hard and in the words of Elmar, you maintain that "I cant stand it speed." Our team had some fantastic results!! Downtown (me) landed on the podium in 2nd place - 0.42 seconds away from the win by Ruth Corset of Jazz Apples. The Viking (Steph Roorda) placed 4th, 4 seconds back from the winning time. We had girls in 6th, 7th, and 8th place (guest riders Moriah Macgregor and Jenny Trew, and our very own Doc Howard respectively). Saturday is the criterium and the Giant/Whistler team was in good standing and looking good.
