Help Brian raise money

I have always loved cycling, from my first two wheeler, a fixed wheel bike with solid rubber tires; to my first road bike, a Raleigh 3-speed (permanently stuck in 3rd gear and only a working front brake); to a CCM coaster brake (a personal favourite, that could be locked up at a subway station for a day or two, the lock a simple chain with my high school and university locker Dudley combination lock which I still have, 37-24-45 and it was never stolen); to a real road bike on which I enjoyed many solo rides with my Canadian Tire pup tent, a small sleeping bag and only enough essentials for 4 or 5 day trip. Now I own a Giant (the brand not the size) mountain bike equipped with smooth tires, so I'm once again really looking forward to another Gran Fondo.
