Hey All,
Telly from cranked here. This is going to be a bit of a longer post, so grab a coffee and have a seat.
For those of you who know us, you know Gilles, and for those who don't, he's our Manager and head technician here at Cranked. He is also a huge part of the heart and soul of this store. We often rib him about being grumpy, stern and only able to talk about watts and bikes. But nothing could be father from the truth. Gilles is a professional with one of the biggest hearts you will meet.
Which brings me the the point of this story. For the last 5 years Cranked Airdrie and Gilles have supported a very important organization, Habitat for Humanity. This year is no diffrent, Gilles will be riding in Habitat for Humanity's Ride Through The Rockies. https://www.habitatsouthernab.ca/ridethrougtherockies
For those who don't know Habitat for Humanity, is an organization that helps low income familys get their first home. And by no means do they just hand out homes. Families are obligated to put in sweat equity in the ammout of 500 hrs to help build the home. These 500 hours goes twords helping the family pay off the down deposit on the home. Gilles has met many of the families he has helped over the years and says "I couldn't feel better about being involved in such a great thing...".
Please join us as we support Gilles and his efforts in helping out those who could use a guy like Gilles in thier life.

Thanks for indulging me in my long winded story, but having been someone who has seen Gilles generosity first hand, I had to say something.
Thanks in advance for your support.
