Let's be honest.

The cycling might be world class, but it's all really just an excuse for enjoying a well-deserved feast of food and drink.

And not just afterwards. At this year's RBC GranFondo Whistler, we've got a stellar lineup in that department just waiting for you from start to finish.

Such as...

Get ready to fuel up and fiesta!

Neal Brothers, our proud rest stop snack sponsor, is keeping you energized with healthy, crave-worthy snacks.

Think cheese puffs, pretzels, and corn chips at every rest stop, all made with extraordinary taste and simple ingredients.

But the real party? That’s happening at the Salt Shed rest stop, transformed into a full-on party zone in honour of our Mexican adventure GranFondo Riviera Nayarit! ️ We’re talking chips, salsa, music, and prizes - because snack time should be a celebration. 

Plus, swing by VeloSpoke on Friday to catch Neal Brothers dishing out some sweet deals before race day!

*Chef's kiss*.

Surprise!

In celebration of this summer's grand opening of Britannia Village, home of Rest Stop 1, we'll be serving up delicious treats from some of the local on-site businesses including Kawartha Dairy and Beaucoup Bakery!

Think ice cream, sorbet, scones, pastries (ok, we'll stop making you hungry now)...

Locally made, full of energy and packed with clean dairy-free ingredients, Hornby Organic are your cycling cheat code at not just at this year's RBC GranFondo Whistler - but year round.

With gluten-free rolled oats, nut or seed butter and honey, you'll be getting:

• A bar in your swag bag (part of the fuel to get you to Rest Stop 1 at Britannia Beach),

• Plus Hornby Organic bars available at all stops along the course.

Hornby Organic: your new go-to energy and snack bar.

With great ingredients and a proven formula for success, you can reply on the Lower Mainland's very own Blonyx to keep you fueled, hydrated and riding strong.

Their flagship Hydra+ electrolyte drink mix dissolves easily in your water bottle and helps replace those essential salts lost during exercise through sweat.

That means you'll stay hydrated and protected against those pesky cramps that can kick in when the body gets out of balance and can't be replaced by water alone.

With a great range of other products, including Egg-White Protein Isolate shakes (recovery), HMB+ Creatine (strength training) and Beet-It shots (muscular endurance), you'll be fully covered for all your athletic goals.

Bonus: RBC GranFondo Whistler newsletter subscribers get 10% off all products with code RBCGRANFONDO

We're delighted to welcome Joni to RBC GranFondo Whistler as the official Period Care product.

Joni make plant-based, impact-driven period care that puts people and the planet first. Together, we believe periods should never be a source of shame, silence, or struggle.

They are powerful. Natural. Unapologetic. And when we stop hiding them — when we honour them — they become a force for change.

That's why Joni products will be made available for riders - free of charge - at all rest stops via easy to find dispensers.

This will be in addition to women's-only portalets that will again be offered at the event.

To learn more, visit getjoni.com or come speak to them at their Expo booth on September 5.

This is Project 30by30 in action.

If you know, you know.

DUER make pants that cyclists love, thanks in large part to the integration of stretch, their signature flexible gusset, and performance fibres.

Make sure you're signed up for RBC GranFondo Whistler by the week 6 deadline of Sun Aug 18, and you could win a $250 gift card to go shopping on a pair of DUER jeans, or any of their other awesome range of casual and performance garmets.

If there is a heaven on earth, then surely it must be at the Scandinave Spa Whistler.

Another if-you-know, you-know experience, the Scandinave Spa's thermal journey is the ultimate way to unwind, relax and pamper yourself, set amongst the swaying pines and grassy surrounding of Whistler's Blackcomb slopes.

Think hot pools, cold plunges, steam rooms, firepits, cascading waterfalls, hammocks, reading nooks, tea, solariums and - well, we won't spoil all of the surprises.

Register by before the week 7 deadline of Sunday Aug 24, and you could be the very lucky winner of this prize.

Before you ride off into the Sea to Sky mountains, keep an eye out at the start line for Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver volunteers who will be collecting your discarded warm-up layers at this year’s RBC GranFondo Whistler.

As you near the start line, toss your layers on the fencing and volunteers will collect it to help fund and support the thousands of youth in Big Brothers mentorship programs across Greater Vancouver and the Sea-to-Sky Corridor.

Every item donated helps change a child’s life forever!

We won't just see you there - we'll see you anywhere.

Okay okay, enough chat. Let's talk some real talk.

September 6: You, your bike, and 5000+ friends at the year's biggest end of season party.

The food is stocked, the Red Truck is on ice, and it sure isn't going to consume itself!

You know what you must do...
