With all the events going virtual this year, there tends to be some overlap. This is message one of two on events I am participating in. Please read this and all of post 2 - there is a challenge at the end.
The ConnectiCare Gran Fondo honors the memory of Gordon Keller, a local triathlete who lost his life in a tragic accident while on a training ride. All donations will support the family he left behind – his beloved wife, Alyson, and their two young children, Riley and Lily.
Gordon was a ConnectiCare employee at the time of his passing. For more information about how the funds benefit the Gordon Keller Family, please contact [email protected].

The Connecticut Cycling Advancement Program's mission is to ensure that Connecticut's youth and their families have access and exposure to an organized state-wide youth cycling league. Additionally, youth and their parents should be able to see a clear avenue that allows them to develop as far as their ambition, skills, and abilities can take them. The sport of cycling teaches a child or young adult a wealth of values, social skills, and mindsets that help them become successful in every aspect of their life, and the CCAP is proud to provide kids across the state with the opportunity to participate in a safe and positive team-based environment.
Recognized nationally for its impact and leadership, the CCAP partners with communities and schools to grow youth cycling throughout Connecticut. More than 55 Connecticut school districts and towns have created CCAP-registered cycling programs or are in the process of establishing cycling clubs and teams. over 550 youth participate in these programs. In addition, 40 CCAP youth-specific events were held in 2019. With your help, the CCAP is just getting started!
