To commemorate our 3rd year as one of the best cycling events in North America, Classe Speciale riders will now receive custom Oakley RadarLock™ sunglasses (valued at $355), compliments of Oakley Canada and the 2013 Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan! Combine that with the full Giordana cycling kit and socks, VIP treatment, and your choice of ride category, and you’ve got the most amazing – and affordable – cycling package available.
