2. META CENTRE GRANFONDO – Sunday June 25, 2017
You may have missed the Early Bird sign up, you can join the ride up to the time the starter’s pistol goes off. But you might want to think twice about doing that especially if you’ve got a wide foot. The organizers are giving out free pairs of Adidas shoes and the tough sizes seem to go fast. So come out early and help a great cause. You’ll be in good company – about 20 of our riders have already signed up.
The 2017 apparel order is available for pick up before the rides. Just ask for Frank Mazzuca2. He’s the good looking one in the poster.
4. RUNNING STOP SIGNS CAN ATTRACT DEMERIT POINTS
Rick Marchesan passed along this article he found in the paper (I know, I almost fell over too – he can read!). The gist is that what you do on the orad with your bike can attract demerit points on your license as though you were driving your car.

5. TEST YOUR BIKE KNOWLEDGE
Brian Farrugia sent us this item that he found. It’s a short quiz about bike road rules. If you get perfect, you can write us abck to tell us about it.

In order to make it into the VCC Bulletin, you need to do 3 things:
a. Wear a VCC Jersey or stand next to someone wearing a VCC Jersey,
b. Take a picture or have one taken of you; and
c. Forward it to me
Last Sunday we started out in great spirits until the skies opened up for 30 minutes or so and then the sun returned. Pictured here are the Reds waiting out the storm. The Greens, on the other hand, rode home in the rain in a full on retreat.
GO, THIRTEEN!
Entry No. 2: HAVING A STEAM WITH JOE AVATI – submitted by Angelo DeMedicis
Pictured below are fellow VCC Member Angelo DeMedicis and funny man Joe Avati, the Australian comedic superstar, at the Lifetime Fitness Club on Weston Rd. The funny part however, was that Angelo and Joe Avati were sitting next to each other in the steam room for the longest time but it wasn’t until they were in the locker room putting on their underpants that Angelo looked up an asked “Hey, aren’t you Joe Avati?”
