What:

a 120-kilometer road bike ride in the cyclosportive tradition along a challenging and beautiful stretch of road on the GranFondo Whistler course
a solid training ride for triathletes
a piece of cake ride for randonneurs
a mid-summer shakedown for those who are planning to participate in the GranFondo Whistler in September or the GranFondos in Victoria or Kelowna
a low-cost, bare bones alternative to the GranFondo Whistler

Where:

Aid Stations/Reference Points:

the following locations are where we propose to refuel and/or meet friends and family

they say that road riding is the new golf

How Much:

free to Club Fat Ass members. Join for the year or for the day.
register for the Fat Ass Fondo here

Who else is in?

check to see who has signed-up here.

Other:

there will be no lane closures on the road, no police escorts for the leaders, no throngs of spectators lining the route or other fancy stuff

participants should be comfortable cycling 4-8 hours on a busy road and totally must be self-sufficient (e.g. know how to dress, can fix their own bike, etc.)
group ride, not a race! Will determine pace groups based on those who sign up and show up
it's OK to ride part way (e.g. out and back to Squamish, out to Squamish and bus home, etc.)
we would like to stay overnight in Whistler and return the next morning. Actively looking for a place to crash and for a way to get participants and bikes back to Vancouver. If you can help, please note details as a comment on this page. Thank you!
