Some experiences are too good to put off. The feeling of rolling out of Stanley Park with thousands of other cyclists. Climbing the Sea to Sky Highway surrounded by mountains and ocean. Crossing the finish line in Whistler with friends, family and thousands of cheering spectators. RBC GranFondo Whistler isn't just another bike ride. It's one of Canada's most iconic cycling experiences. That's why we believe paying for it shouldn't have to happen all at once. A better way to register We've partnered with Affirm, Canada's trusted pay-over-time provider, so you can spread the cost of your registration into simple monthly payments from 0% APR (subject to approval).
