Training

The only way to train for the RBC GranFondo is to pedal, pedal, pedal. A pre-ride is a great way to become familiar with the course, know the challenges and plan pacing for yourself on the day (and stop for pictures along the way). Why not plan a pre-ride and meet the family in Whistler for a night or two in the mountains, or stay and tackle some of the other road rides in the area to enhance your mountain legs?

Transportation

• Bike and passenger transport is available for your return trip to Vancouver on Saturday and Sunday so you can relax and enjoy some well-deserved recovery time in Whistler
• Transportation is also available from Vancouver to Whistler on Friday night
• Take advantage of free Whistler Transit on Saturday, September 10 until 6 PM

Stay tuned for more information and booking options.

Recovery

No need to rush off after the ride – there are plenty of places to stay and enjoy a relaxing recovery in Whistler.

• Find the perfect accommodation for a deep sleep after the event
• Soak your muscles in your own hot tub or book a post-race massage at one of Whistler's spas
• Join up with other participants in one of Whistler's bars, pubs or restaurants to raise a glass in victory
• Turn it into an outdoor adventure weekend. Try bungee jumping, mountain biking or another summer activity
• If you prefer to rest after the race, ride the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, take a gentle hike or chill out by one of Whistler’s five beautiful lakes
