2012 GranFondo Vancouver-Whistler, BC
September 7, 2012 - September 9, 2012
Ride from Sea to Sky, Vancouver to Whistler on the CEO Challenges Cycling Team
A ride you never thought possible on one of the most scenic highways in the world. Or a great excuse to see the Olympic cities of Vancouver and Whistler. Whatever your motivation, the GranFondo Whistler is the ride you've been waiting for.
With breathtaking views of Howe Sound, challenging climbs through the Coast Mountain Range and more downhill than you'd expect, this ride will impress and inspire like none other. The total distance is 120km, with 2,500m of climbing, and a net elevation gain of 650m from start to finish.
Watch the video of the 2011 GranFondo here.
And, through a special arrangement with GranFondo Canada, CEO Challenges will be entering a team whose members will enjoy a number of incredible perks. Including entry to a race that sells out months before!
Join CEO Challenges founder & President Ted Kennedy on the CEO Challenges Team for this epic event.
The 5th rider across the line counts for our team score, so we will work together to push the pace, yet include as many as possible on the climb into Whistler (just like the Team Time Trial at the Tour de France....well, maybe not exactly).
