Around the Mountain

Ambitious A real undertaking. Demanding on a couple of fronts, like rough surfaces plus steady climbing, or a long stretch on busier roads.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

Around the Mountain circles Burnaby Mountain in a 27 km loop linking Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Burnaby, climbing through forest with stretches of singletrack and open views from the high point. One of the harder rides in the Vancouver collection, with real climbing and mixed surfaces.
