Whistler's Best Road Rides

The Sea to Sky Highway is full of road riders these days as everyone is looking to get a last ride in before the big Grand Fondo. With 7000 riders and projected sunshine it will be a great event for its second season.

One training route or simply just a fun ride is to head out from Whistler Village and then head south along Highway 99 to the turn off to Whistler Olympic Park. This ride then climbs up the valley all the way to the Olympic centre on a gradual, but consistent climb. The staff at Arbutus Routes have been riding this a few times as of late and just love it.

The ride in total is 50 kms and took us 1:45 at a quick pace, but 2 hours would be a good time estimate for most. We have now followed up with our new Whistler Road Riding video that will be posted to Arbutus Cinema in the days to come. For a sneak peak check out our Facebook page with the video that maps out the full ride and the amazing views across the valley towards Black Tusk.



Enjoy the ride.
