Burnaby Orbit

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.

How we describe routes →

A 48 km loop connecting the Trans Canada Trail on Burnaby Mountain with the gravel trails around Burnaby Lake, on mostly smooth, well-graded surfaces. Best ridden clockwise, with a detour option to Port Moody's breweries and cafes.
