2.  META CENTRE GRANFONDO – Sunday June 25, 2017
2017 05 20
The META Foundation is hosting its 16th Annual Family Walk, Relay & Gran Fondo on Sunday June 25, 2017, to raise funds for the Meta Foundation which provides programmes and assistance to individuals with special needs and their families.  The Gran-fondo has been taking place since 2014 and the Veneto Cycling Club has been there from the very beginning and in numbers that make us stand head and shoulders above everyone else.  In fact, last year when others broke ranks to participate in the “big boys” ride, the VCC stood by its commitment.  The big boys can tear a page out of our playbook and learn a lesson or two.  Have a look at the META Foundation page and you will see how we dominate in pictures: www.metacentre.ca/gran-fondo
The cost of the early bird registration is $125.  But considering that you get a free pair of Adidas running shoes and a foodie’s food pavilion, the price is well worth it.  Here is the link to the online registration page: Gran-fondo Registration
We hope to see you there.
3.  MacKENZIE HEALTH FOUNDATION RIDE FOR HEALTH – Sunday June 4, 2017
MacKenzie Health Foundation’s 3rd annual Ride for Health is taking place in a little more than a week on Sunday, June 4, 2017.  The ride starts and stops at Copper Creek Golf Club and features

Cycling Club members are entitled to FREE registration ($75 fee waived) with only a minimum fundraising fee of $500.
Visit: www.MHFRide.ca
When prompted use promo code MHF for the free registration fee
If you require help dial 905-883-1212 ext. 7807 and tell them Sandro sent you.
Let me know where that gets you – probably out the back door.
