Many of you will recall that the crowd prime at the Giro di Burnaby was a fundraiser to support Ryder Evans-Brockett, a 4 1/2 year old boy fighting inoperable brain cancer. Ryder's family are deeply entrenched in the cycling community, and the bike shop they own-- Sharpey's Cycles in Burnaby--is a sponsor of the Burnaby Velodrome.

This Saturday there's a community event to support this amazing family. Let's show them our support. Information below. I hope to see you there!
