Landis & Merckx join fund-raiser

Phonak riders Floyd Landis and Axel Merckx will take part in Wheels Of Wonder, a weekend of fundraising events in La Jolla, October 21-22, 2006 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Southwest Region of Canine Companions for Independence (www.cci.org). Other cycling celebrities taking part include 1984 Olympic gold medalist Steve Hegg and Race Across America speed record holder Pete Penseyres and his wife and RAAM support crew star Joanne.

The riders will be guests of honour at a gala dinner party and live auction at a Southern California resort and then lead a ride along the Pacific Coast the next day.
