Tri-City residents can be part of one of the most prestigious professional cycling series in North America when it rolls into Port Coquitlam next Friday.
The PoCo Grand Prix is on the BC Superweek circuit, which starts Friday and features nine road races over 10 days, with a total purse of more than $140,000 for winning riders.
