Gran Fondo 2012

Post by wonger »

I think this event will replace the Whistler GF for me next year. Anyone interested in doing the 45 mile cross option?

Checked out the 100 mile road race. That is serious elevation gains.

The area down there is beautiful, definitely worth the trip.
The day I quit is the day I die, and probably not even then.
