The inaugural RBC GranFondo Whistler brought together 4,000 cyclists of all ages and abilities in an epic journey from downtown Vancouver, along the world's most scenic coastal mountain highway (Highway 99), through Squamish and on to a breathtaking finish in Whistler. GranFondo rides have been popular in Europe for years and this was the first one ever to be held in Canada!
