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.

“When most people think of British Columbia, they picture towering, glacier-capped mountains and vast conifer forests. In the south-central part of the province, however, lies a unique and environmentally significant grassland landscape. B.C.’s grasslands make up just one percent of its land base but provide habitat for almost a third of the province’s threatened and endangered species, according to the Grasslands Conservation Council of British Columbia.
This route is designed to explore part of this environmentally important landscape. It begins in Kamloops and will inspire with its great beauty. You’ll marvel at endless views over sprawling ranches, the azure lakes teeming with waterfowl, and the thousands of birds flying through the air as you tackle the route’s many climbs and descents.”
