You don't need to be a seasoned pro to lock in an unforgettable day on the bike.

Just ask Alicia. On her 40th birthday, she promised herself she’d become a cyclist. One year later, she was crossing the finish line in Whistler.

"I cannot recommend it enough. If you've been on the fence about it, this is your push to do it."

If you're sitting on that same fence, the Medio category (55KM) is your perfect entry point. It’s less about intense training and entirely about the experience:

• Pure Celebration: Think course-side dance parties, roaring cheer squads, and an epic finish-line festival.

• The Distance: 55 KM (Medio) of beautiful, achievable open roads & perfect for your first foray.

• Built-In Support: Alicia didn't do it alone, she got all the skills, confidence, and community she needed to tackle the distance by joining our Fondo Clinics

Now she's on a mission to inspire more people to try the Medio Fondo and The Gran Fondo.

Speaking of riding for the first time, meet Charissa.

She just locked in her spot for her first-ever RBC GranFondo Whistler, stepping completely out of her comfort zone to prove that our bodies are capable of incredible, hard things.
