Hesjedal will also unveil his participation in a new fundraising project called “Wheelmen Ride Bicycles,” an initiative designed to help support the development of young competitive male and female cyclists in Canada. Commemorative “Tourmalet T-shirts” are being offered in anticipation of the event and will be signed by Hesjedal. (See Attached PDF). Proceeds from the sales of the T-shirts will be donated to the Aviawest Cycling Society.
