Rub shoulders with Eddy Merckx
Eddy Merckx will ride the inaugural Gran Fondo Axel Merckx cyclosportive in Penticton, British Columbia.
The ride, on July 10, 2011, has two options on offer: the 158km Gran Fondo or 98km Medio Fondo.
Axel, Olympic road race bronze medallist in 2004, is directeur sportif for the Trek-Livestrong under-23 team and son of the greatest-ever bike racer.
“I am pleased to support my son in his inaugural event,” said Eddy.
“I have no doubt that Axel will host a premier cycling spectacle, and I look forward to greeting all the cyclists at the start line in the beautiful Okanagan.”
