We can all park our shuttle trucks and ride the chair lift up and get in as much vertical as one can handle. The Whistler Mountain Bike Park is open. The mountain is only half the fun. The Whistler night life is second to none. Not only is there great places to dine and great places to party, but these places are full of people that share the same passion.

Luckily for me it was not in his natural habitat (going downhill really fast). This weekend’s ride was going to take place on pavement with skinny tires. This was not just any ride, it was Levi's King Ridge Gran Fondo. The term "Gran Fondo" is Italian for "great background", but most often loosely translated to mean "Grand Ride". Levi's King Ridge Gran Fondo’s 7500 riders and incredible scenery translates to an incredible experience. ]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 17:35:51 -0400 12102 2011-10-04 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12102_LeviLeipheimersKingRidgeGranFondo20111004083206_1317751214.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12102_IMG0957_1317751214.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12102_411414359_1317751215.jpg
