NewRoads Automotive Group Teams up with Local Cyclist Ed Veal on the Road to Rio!
 
NEWMARKET, Jan. 19, 16 – NEWROADS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP has teamed up with accomplished team pursuit cyclist Ed Veal (Bronze at the 2015 Pan Am Games) to support the local athlete on the road to the Rio Olympics in 2016.
 
Launching  Jan. 19th at the NewRoads Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC, Ed Veal is welcomed to the NewRoads Team. With community being one of the four pillars that NewRoads bases its company culture on it was an easy decision to back one of York Region’s top athletes.

“When I heard Ed’s story following his success in the Pan Am Games I felt compelled to help him realize his Olympic dream.  The reality is that most Canadian Olympians are grossly underfunded.  Being in a position to assist by ensuring that Ed can get back and forth to the Velodrome in Milton seemed like the right thing to do given the challenges Ed (and other athletes) face while training at an elite level.” – Michael Croxon, CEO of NewRoads Automotive Group
 
The partnership between Ed Veal and NewRoads Automotive Group is one that goes further then providing transportation, but also adopts the aspects of the importance of wellness and a healthy lifestyle.

“It is wild to think about everything the bicycle has brought to my life. All the amazing experiences and all the wonderful people it has introduced me to, including the NewRoads Automotive Group and Michael Croxon. It still amazes me everyday how much enjoyment I get from cycling, and I can’t wait to create more new moments in this incredible sport”. – Ed Veal
 
Equipped with a custom NewRoads vehicle wrapped by Toronto digital imaging, Ed is on the right track to find new roads in Rio!
