May 13, 2016 (Blue Mountain Village, ON) – The Grey County Road Race and Time Trial has teamed up with Blade Carbon Wheels to give female riders more incentive to saddle up and ride at the 2nd annual event being held May 27 and 29 at The Blue Mountains, ON. Don’t miss the sole Canadian and North American stop for the 2016 UCI Gran Fondo World Series (formerly the UCI World Cycling Tour), which includes a total of 14 worldwide events.

Participants who finish in the top 25% of their age category will qualify for the UCI Gran Fondo World Series Finals and an opportunity to compete for the coveted World Champion rainbow jersey.  The 2016 UGFWS Finals will be hosted by Perth, Australia from Sept 1-4; 2017 Finals have been awarded to Albi, France.

– 2 entrants from a team = 4 tickets
– 3 entrants from a team = 9 tickets
– 4 entrants from a team = 16 tickets
– 5 entrants from a team = 25 tickets etc…

Second Draw / Round Two: Determine the Winning Team Member
All of the team members from the winning team will have a single ticket entered into a random draw with the wheels being awarded to the lucky winner
