See you on the LO300 Start Line!

 

Can you believe in less then 36 hours the gun will mark the start of the 2013 LO300 Challenge. We cannot thank our sponsors enough for all their support and we hope that all participants will extend their appreciation to our sponsors as we couldn't do this event without them. 

Don't forget to send all your family and friends our Yellowbrick link  www.loor.ca/Lake-Ontario-300 so they can watch the excitement as we race around the lake.  
 
Sincerely,
Darren Gornall
