Levi Honored In Santa Rosa For GranFondo
The Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce is honoring Levi Leipheimer as it’s 2010 Business Man of the Year for the impact his GranFondo ride had on the community in it’s first year.
3,150 riders participated in the 2009 edition of the ride which had a significant economic impact on the community estimated by the city to be $1,247,490
When told of the economic impact that reached above a million dollars, Leipheimer responded, “That’s pretty cool, huh? I wanted to pay back Sonoma County for what it has done for me. It (hills, roads, etc.) has made me a better cyclist and so the only motivation I had was to give something back to the area.”
The 2010 Levi Leipheimer King Ridge Ganfondo is set for October 9th
