If anyone is interested in a mid-September Gran Fondo, the Baker Hughes Gran Fondo on Sunday, September 17th is a lot of fun. I did it last year and it's a great deal at $101 (before August 15 - $122 after).
It includes a jersey, swag bag (last year's had arm warmers in it), breakfast and post ride lunch/beer, stocked rest stops and fully supported ride. It starts and stops out of Bragg Creek.
It's seems to primarily be an oil and gas professional networking event but I'm not in the industry. The event is a lot of fun and well run. At almost 2 months away, it's also cool to have a goal if you're trying to improve your cycling/fitness.
