Roll on 2021 for North America's Number #1 Gran Fondo

Yesterday, September 12th 2020, RBC GranFondo Whistler should have welcomed nearly 7000 riders in Stanley Park to mark the 11th annual RBC GranFondo Whistler grand depart.  Champions would have been crowned and personal bests achieved. Heads would be held high with shiny medals adorning sun-kissed necks. Stories told true, embellished and regaled over frosty beers. 

Whilst the event couldn't take place this year, there is hopefully light at the end of the tunnel, voted best North American Gran Fondo two years in a row, RBC GranFondo Whistler is scheduled for September 11, 2021
