Coveted Crooked Wheel

Kudos for riding and volunteering in the wettest and coldest Southern Lakes Yukon GranFondo ever!!! Despite the heavy rain at the start almost every team hopped on their bike and hit the road. Riders did not get a break from the wet for the entire course, but their spirits were high and they kept on smiling! Unfortunately most of the solo riders had to pull out about three quarter of the way due to the constant rain, the cold temperatures and the wind. Riders were just getting too cold! Thank

After dealing with some organizational hick-ups, there will be a Southern Lakes Yukon GranFondo this year!!! Hurray! A week later than usual, but we hope you still make it out.

The 2017 Southern Lakes Yukon Granfondo was another great success with 105 riders and sunshine all the way!!
