Silent Auction Items
The Ontario Cycling Association (OCA) has graciously been given a signed Team Sky jersey worn by Michael Barry during the 2010 Spring Classic, Tour of Flanders.

Along with his jersey, Michael has donated a copy of his limited edition book – Le Métier. This is the silkscreen version that is one of only 200 produced! Michael and the photographer have signed this copy.

The jersey and book (separate auctions) are just two of the items that will be a part of the silent auction at the Cycling Celebration. In addition the Spring/Summer cover of the OCA’s online Cycle Ontario Magazine (with a 4000 member reach) will also be available for auction. All proceeds will go to the 2011 La Bicicletta Youth Cup Road Series.

If you cannot make the event please send your bid to Chris at the OCA by noon on Friday. You can email your bid to info@ontariocycling.org. The highest bid at noon on Friday will be the opening bid at the Cycling Celebration Saturday night.
