Introducing our new Pregnancy & Postpartum Policy ✨

In line with Project 30by30's initiative to see more women in cycling, we are pleased to introduce a new flagship Pregnancy & Postpartum Deferral Policy.

Life changes, and your training journey might too. Expanding your family shouldn't mean losing your spot on the start line.

Here's how it works:

🤰 Eligibility:
Any registered participant who is pregnant or has given birth within the 12 months leading up to event day, across all categories.

⏳ Deferral Terms:
Year 1: Deferral fee waived
Year 2: Opt to defer for an additional year; regular $100 admin fee applies.
Note: Requests must be submitted by August 15th.

📋 Do I need a note?
We trust our community, so medical notes are not standard practice. While we might ask for a doctor or midwife's note in rare circumstances, we're here to support you first.

🚲 What about partners?
At this time, automatic deferrals apply to the pregnant/postpartum individual. However, partners are welcome to email us with their situation, and we will look at accommodations on a case-by-case basis.

📧 How to request:
Simply email our team at [email protected] with your name, event year, and a brief note regarding your status. We'll handle the rest!

Discover the essentials: The Muffin Ride 🥮☕

We recently caught up with Julian, who co-founded .cc 5 years ago. What started as a simple morning cruise has grown organically into one of Vancouver’s contemporary social-ride institutions.

As Julian puts it: “It’s all about bringing a lot of people within the Vancouver cycling community together.”

“…And having a halfway point is a good equalizer because it makes everyone stop. So all different types of cyclists can come - like people who want to go fast or people who are newer to cycling can all come and congregate here.”

That’s where the real magic happens - at the midway stop, where everyone joins to chat, share a coffee, and enjoy a great muffin before splitting into smaller groups to head back to Vancouver at their own pace.

“Muffins are highly encouraged, but not required” 😉

The Route Details (One-Way):
📍 Start: Seaforth Park (Thursdays @ 6:15 AM)
📏 Distance: 22 km
🏔️ Elevation: 198 m

Important Changes: Start time and Forte route

⛰️Forte Route Change for 2026

The Ministry of Transportation and Transit has informed us that Cypress Bowl Road, where the Forte typically climbs to Cypress Mountain summit, is scheduled for pavement rehabilitation works around the time of this year's event, and availability cannot be guaranteed for a cycling event.

As a result, we are changing the Forte route as follows:

◾Forte riders will leave Stanley Park 5 minutes after the start of the St Regis Cup.
◾Forte riders will follow the GranFondo route to Callaghan Valley Road, 15 km before the finish at Whistler, and summit to Whistler Olympic Park (W*P), past the iconic 2010 Olympic Nordic Ski Jumps (aid station at summit)
◾ Forte riders will descend from W*P and rejoin the Gran Fondo route to the finish line
◾Callaghan Valley Road adds 24 km's with an average 4% grade

This year's updated Forte route provides the same sense of accomplishment with a fresh challenge!

See the updated route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55083919


⏱️Start Time Changes for 2026

As a result of the change in Forte route, all categories will now have revised start times as follows:

◽St Regis Cup: 6:00 am
◽Forte: 6:05 am
◽Alta Classe: 6:10 am
◽GranFondo: 6:20 am
◽Medio: 9:00 am start (at Whistler)

The above start time changes provide athlete benefits including cooler morning temperatures, a more inclusive ride experience, and finishing earlier in the day enjoy the celebrations longer.
More details to come.

Humans of the Fondo✨

A different kind of photo storytelling project - the people who make this ride iconic.

Meet Sam. ”The Cycle Junky”

“Every Fondo is memorable for me and I wonder if I can still do it. It was tough, I was traveling a lot this year and did not put as many miles in. Normally I get about 5000 training miles in the legs but this year, I rode around 3000 miles.”

“Besides the 3000 miles of training, I raced in Toronto and Niagara last week. Honestly, I would have felt bad not doing the race because I have done it for 8 years. And also, the Forte is ridiculous too.”

“I am about to move to Japan so this might be my last Fondo. Maybe not? It was bittersweet and great to push today so we will see what the future holds for me. Spend time with my family and decide what’s next.”
