Montreal's 28th annual Tour de l'Île bicycle festival kicks off Friday night with the Tour la nuit. Several roads and thoroughfares will be closed to cars.
The nighttime ride will depart St. Joseph Blvd. at 8:15 p.m. Friday. The route will take cyclists through the St. Michel, Park Extension, Ahuntsic and Cartierville districts of the city before winding up at Jeanne Mance Park.
Sunday’s 50-kilometre trek, expected to attract about 25,000 riders of all ages, leaves Park Ave. at 9:15 a.m. and also ends at Jeanne Mance Park.
