Cycling Legend George Hincapie is coming to Port Carling!!!
- On Sunday August 7th at 9:00 am in Port Carling George will lead a 46 member Pelaton riding the Tour de Blue Charity Ride in support of Markham Stouffville Hospital.
George has ridden in a record 16 Tour de France’s, and was Lance Armstrong’s right hand man for all Yellow Jersey Wins…Plus..he seems to be a true gentleman. Also riding is
- Canada’s Own Cycling Olympic Silver Medalist – Steve Bauer, and
- Chris Carmicheal, former pro-cyclist and coach of Lance Armstrong.
Each cyclist contributes at least $10,000 towards the cause. The ride is expected to raise about $450,000 for the Hospital.
Welcome to Muskoka George, Steve, Chris and the Gang…I am sad that I can’t be there to cheer your on…as I am racing in the Bracebridge Olympic Distance Triathlon at 9:00 am. Your Tour de Blue route is taking you down Muskoka Road 13 (Southwood Road), and then down to the Rama area. Sadly, the Bracebridge Triathlon travels west along Hwy 118 – it would have been quite a thrill if the Triathlon, travelling along hwy 118 could have crossed paths. At any rate, I will be sort of on the same road at the same time as you!!! Ride on – and Thanks for coming to Muskoka and support the Markham Stouffville Hospital.
