Lifestyle | Whistler Gran Fondo

In Squamish we are all about mountain biking...well almost! Some people also love challenging themselves by road biking! 

This Saturday September 7th is the 15th annual Whistler Gran Fondo, a 122km ride from Vancouver to Whistler however that's not the only option! There are options for many physical abilities including a 55km route starting in Whistler looping to the top of Callaghan Road and back to Whistler. Or if you really want to challenge yourself there is a 152km option that combines the 122km route with the 55km route! 

This ride includes iconic Sea to Sky views and the only traffic-free day of the year for cycling the Sea to Sky Highway! It is also fully supported with aid stations including drink, food, medical, mechanical and washrooms. As well as finish line festivities like hot food, a beer garden and an awards ceremony for the top finishers!

Not participating this year? Find a safe place to be a spectator and cheer on all the riders! A good spot to pull up a chair with plenty of parking would be near the Squamish Adventure Centre...don't forget your sunscreen; it's forecasted to be a hot one this year!

Have you participated in the Whistler Gran Fondo or plan to in a future year, leave a comment below I would love to hear all about your experience!
