# [👀 What riders see] Today is the day... *After 2026 sells out, 2027's best price of the year is now ON - registration open!* By [News from RBC GranFondo](https://blog.rbcgranfondo.com) · 2026-09-12 news, fomo, community, medio, deadlines, event day, 2027 --- ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/tip-icon.png) In keeping with tradition, you're receiving the exact email RBC GranFondo Whistler 2026 riders are waking up to this morning. See what they see, and feel what they're feeling! Plus, follow along online - details below... For Kerry, it's AC/DC's _Thunderstruck_. "Can't beat that driving beat!", she says. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Himanshu's song has meaning for him. Here's what Miley Cyrus's _The Climb_ conjures: > "I’ve realized that I enjoy the journey as much as the destination. The training, the long rides, the climbs, and even the difficult days have become part of the experience. This song reminds me that it’s not only about reaching the finish line, it’s about enjoying who you become along the way." Norman picked his song for in honour of the whole field. Choosing Ejae's _Golden_, he tells us "this is THE song of the year and the song for every one. Pure, positive, upbeat, uplifting." And Steph sent in her go-to biking tune, Cannons' _Fire For You_ \[Sped Up\], sharing a "great beat that I ride to a lot!" for us all to enjoy. Every one of these songs and many more of your submissions have been added to the [official 2026 RBC GranFondo Whistler soundtrack](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1tj94DsGH0Pit3VnNKnUIq), because every great ride doesn't just need a great soundtrack, it needs a reminder of all the amazing memories we'll be making today that we can come back to, time and time again. Good luck on the road out there, and we'll see you for the biggest party we can possibly throw in Whistler. **You got this.** ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3b81842a2a89e38fe60aec0eca781aa895231c4e72c48114826824ec121fd4a1.jpg) The music takes us back to the special moments like these.
