I think this event will replace the Whistler GF for me next year. Anyone interested in doing the 45 mile cross option?

Checked out the 100 mile road race. That is serious elevation gains.

If memory serves Whistler is about 7000 plus ft cumulatively
Only in america would they have a custom of the riders stopping to shoot guns during a gran fondo look at the pics on the web site yikes !
but the country side and the roads look amazing very euro tunnels and switch backs im interested
