	LEGGAT AUTO GROUP - CELEBRATING 100 YEARS In 1922, Roy Leggat left the family farm in Stoney Creek, Ontario, and, with a $3,000-loan from his mother, laid the foundation for what one day would become the Leggat Auto Group. The automotive industry has changed considerably since those first days in 1922, but the Leggat Auto Group has remained competitive thanks to its sense of family and its dedication to customer service. Looking forward, the Leggat Auto Group will continue to do what it has always done: provide quality, reliable, affordable vehicles for hardworking Canadians.
	With the addition of the P2A CENTO 100k route, the P2A is going to pose some newer challenges to riders that are opting for the extended distance. Many riders come for the enjoyment and for the challenge of completing it, whereas others come to see how well they can do against the others in the field, perhaps looking to make the top 50, 100 or 200 in the field. If you’re serious about training and preparing for P2A, for any of the race routes, you’ll want to be training with a power meter and you’ll want to be using Xert. Xert is sponsoring the race this year, and the Xert Breakthrough Training platform will be your go to system to help you be ready to do your best on race day.
