How we describe routes →

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.

From Tynehead Park in Surrey, roll down to the Fraser and catch the tiny free ferry, a two-minute crossing, to Barnston Island, where a flat, quiet 10 km lap circles riverside farmland full of bird life. No cars to speak of, no hills at all, and a picnic spot around every corner. The road surface runs rough in patches, so take it easy.
