While not officially a “race” the Whistler Gran Fondo does award individual and team awards. Teams can be made up of 5 - 9 riders. Time for teams is determined by the 5th rider to cross the finish line. In the Mixed category, there needs to be a minimum of two people from each sex across the finish line in order for the team time to be eligible. Teams will be awarded individual medals and have their team name engraved on the Team Trophy. There will be Team Trophies available in the Men’s, Women’s and Mixed categories.

Wedgewood Cycling Team will be entering at least five teams, made up of riders of similar fitness and ability. The current team situation:
John Litherland will captain Wedgewood Cycling Team A1
Philip Meyer will captain Wedgewood Cycling Team A2
Kevin Irvine will captain Wedgewood Cycling Team A3
Vince Lee will captain Wedgewood Cycling Team A4
Darnelle Moore will captain Wedgewood Ladies Cycling Team

When registering for the Gran Fondo final team selection is not required at registration, as long as you register under Wedgewood Cycling Team. Team selections will be finalized mid-summer — apparently based on Mt. Baker results.
