Gift giving season. It can be a stressful time. It's difficult enough to know what to get before even thinking about the affordability side too. So we're here to change that.New: contribute towards their 'Fondo entryHere's the deal: you know that person in your life who'd love to ride the RBC GranFondo Whistler. And not just for the unforgettable ride day. It's the journey of training, gaining skills, confidence, new friends, a focus on health and self-improvement - to name just a few. A Gran Fondo gift is an entire journey - ride day is just the cherry on the pie (Photo: Darryl Dyck) But at the same time, buying a full gift entry can be a big financial commitment. That's why we've come up with custom gift amounts - you contribute towards the registration. In a nutshell, you decide how much you want to gift towards their entry, without having to give the whole amount. $25, $50, $100; it's up to you. They're already stoked.
