Ladies and gentleman!  Your attention please!

We are happy to announce an exciting new event!

On Saturday, Sept. 22nd, 2012 the inaugural 
  GRAN FONDO With FRIENDS, A Pink Ribbon Ride!  
will take place! 

Save this DATE!  

A Gran Fondo is both an Italian style sporting event and a cultural experience.
Gran Fondo means a “big ride” or “long distance” or “great endurance.”  
It's not a race but can be a high speed ride for the best time or just a relaxing tour. 
This bike ride will start & finish at the new CrossFit facility in Oak Ridge, on the north side of Greensboro. 

All participants will be timed in their individual rides.  
Especially for those who relish a challenge, the event will include a hearty 100 + mile route that circles Hanging Rock & Sauratown and takes you almost to Pilot Mountain!
Other shorter distances are provided for cyclists of all abilities. 

The best companies and people have already signed on as sponsors!
Cone Health, Elizabeth's Pizza, Revi Cyclewear, Sport Auto of Summerfield, cycles de ORO, Mock Orange Bicycles, Earthfare, Panera bread, Greensboro Dermatology, Kaley Othodontics, Navy Blue Design, Derek Hill Photography and more! (Contact us if you'd like to help!)

All this fun is benefiting a really great cause: Earlier.org, Friends For Earlier Breast Cancer Test, a Greensboro-based charity that is making a difference in women's lives!

Another exciting feature of the day will be the appearance of Italian pro racing star, Max Lelli, who will ride with us and give away a custom carbon Max Lelli bicycle frame to the highest fund raiser.

AND, there is a special limited edition jersey available to participants, a custom design just for our event by Revi Technical Wear. Only trick is that you must sign up by July 25th to get your jersey order made in time for the ride. See designs here: http://www.granfondowithfriends.org/Jerseys.htm 
Sign up now! 

This is a DON'T-MISS-IT event! 
The event is open now for signing up  - See more at the web site  and watch as the excitement builds for this great event.
