Summer is most definitely the time for Cycling in Vancouver and the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa is Vancouver’s “Cycling Hotel“, the meeting place to mingle with other cyclists and share success stories.
Avid cyclists from around the world are gearing up and preparing for this year’s top cycling race in British Columbia, the RBC GranFondo 2012. This is an event like no other, the buzz in the city and the excitement of the spectators and the cyclists will be an experience to remember.
For those wanting to cycle this summer, The Wedgewood offers direct access onto Vancouver’s network of bike paths and provide a unique Wedgewood Route de Bonheur en Velo maps for in-house guests.
There is really nothing like experiencing the City by bike on a warm summers day.
Elpie Marinakis, Managing Director and Philip Meyer, General Manager of the Wedgewood, are avid cyclists and ride with Hotel’s sponsored Wedgewood Cycling Team for 8 years now, raising money & awareness for the BC Cancer Foundation as they ride. Get to know the Wedgewood Cycling Team and support the cause.

On July 22nd many of the team and fundraising friends head to the Prospera Valley Fondo which starts in the lovely historic village of Fort Langley a short drive from Vancouver. This is the first year for this 160km event.
