Enjoy.  The 3rd annual Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan starts in Penticton, B.C., Canada on Sunday, July 7th, 2013. Scenic route along the parts of lake Okanagan and Skaha Lake  and along side some of BC's most beautiful vineyards. Registration for the 3rd annual Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx  is now open.
