Other ways to be GranFondo ready
Sign up for your GranFondo as a group or with a partner – don't do it alone!
Make use of the Burnaby Velodrome Club's many open cycling and race events to prepare for high RPMs and get great control of your bike.
Get the right equipment and make sure you have a bike you are comfortable with. Consider attending the Vancouver Bike Show on March 4 and 5 to gather information, look at new equipment/bikes and talk to professionals and other avid cyclists.
With so much time before you to prepare, there's no reason why this year's GranFondo won't be your very best – even if it's your very first!
This is a great hydrating product. Super light weight and absorbs well into the skin. Although the price has increased it’s worth it to buy. A critical component of my skincare routine
The first time I ever used this product was at the end of a hydrafacial at 8 west clinic. This was such a nice formula as it wasn’t heavy and didn’t leave white streaks even though it was an SPF. I most loved that there was a matte formula for my combo skin. It had a nice scent and is super light weight
I have been using this cleanser consistently for 7 years and it’s one of my favourite products. You only need a little bit to get an effective cleanse. The formula isn’t too strong for my sensitive skin
I received a sample of the glo sunkiss bronzer with my last pressed powder purchase and have been using it as a contouring highlighter and it is beautiful. A little goes a long way. The colour is universal and enhances a variety of skin tones. Such a beautiful product. Thank you, for such a useful gift.
Once again I order 2 pressed powder by glo skin beauty from JoyVIVA and I am very satisfied. They sent out the product within a short time of ordering and I had it within days. They added a lovely set of gifts: glow skin beauty and longer face serum which I’m really enjoying and may even order. I appreciate their efficiency and value over other cosmetic providers. Thank you for a seamless process.
