RBC GranFondo - Vancouver to Whistler




Our son-in-law James, Suzanne's husband did this race today. GranFondo is Italian for 'big ride' and is very popular in Europe. Today's race is the first one in Canada, 120 kms, with 7000 feet of climbing, lots of up and downs. They started at 7 a.m. in Vancouver and had their own dedicated lane up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. James finished in 5:42 hours and is truly a hero in my eyes. He rode for the B.C. Lung Association and raised nearly $2500.00 for them on this event.
