Registration
The epic RBC GranFondo Whistler continues to establish itself one of North America's biggest GranFondos. Experience breathtaking views of Howe Sound, a spectacular route through the Coast Mountain Range and enough downhill to reward yourself for the climbs - all on an unimpeded dedicated lane-width.
"I started racing the Vancouver to Whistler road race in 1978. The road back then was in very rough shape and there were only about 50 of us in the race. It's like a dream to now be able to ride the same route on fresh pavement, and more importantly, in a dedicated lane with thousands of other passionate cyclists. The support stations along the way and the festival atmosphere at the finish made this event very special." - Alex Stieda
Join us on September 8, 2012 and take part in Canada's signature GranFondo.
