Joanne completes the Whistler Gran Fondo

Over the weekend Joanne tackled her key event of the year.  The Whistler Gran Fondo.

For those of you who do not know.  A Gran Fondo means "big ride".  And this sure was a big ride.  7000 took on the challenge today to ride from Vancouver to Whistler. the full distance was 120 Km.

Joanne trained very hard for this event and found the day to be very powerful.  Having that many riders around was challenging but also at the same time quite helpful for when the road started to go up (8000 feet elevation gain).  At the end of the day Joanne was very pleased with her result of 57 out of 532 in her age group.

Well done Joanne!!!

This looked like an amazing day and if you think a Gran Fondo is in your future sign up soon as they do fill up.
