Whistler Gran Fondo last training weekend

Yesterday was about 3 hours down on Millarville and Priddis area roads to warm Cindy up for what was her first big adventure ride.

Today was supposed to be about 70k but it was closer to 85. Not a huge difference, but the climbing was way more than I thought too. Started in Millarville and went west on the 549 until the fork for McLean creek or the Gorge Creek trail heading south. After doing a few huge climbs we got to a road closure that dampened the plan. Apparently it's been closed for years due to a washout of the gravel road. We saw some hikers who said the road was fine and open for bikes, and looked at the map choices. Didn't want to do a bunch of mountain biking on the 'cross bike so continued on. Super nice valleys back there.

Few hours later made it to Turner Valley to refill empty bottles then did the 11km time trial back to the car.

Big day!
