Superfan: Sean's story
Sean Stephens is one of the most active people on our social media, always commenting and sharing his excitement. We like to think of him as a superfan. To say thanks, Sean has been upgraded to Alta Classe! This is his story:
"This year marks my eighth time riding the RBC GranFondo Whistler, competing in the 152km Forte category. My journey began in 2015, and ever since, the thrill of the challenge and the incredible people I've met along the way have kept me coming back.
"I remember my first ride like it was yesterday. It was 2015, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. At the starting line, I was a bundle of nerves—both excited and anxious. But as the race unfolded, seeing the sea of riders and the enthusiastic volunteers at each rest stop and the finish line made it clear: this event is truly special."
