How we describe routes →

Easy Smooth surfaces and gentle climbing.

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.

How we describe routes →

Abbotsford's Discovery Trail crosses the city in two halves, west (9 km one way) and east (11 km one way), for up to 40 km of riding through parkland and farm edges, mostly paved with gentle grades. Good fall colour, and easy to ride in whatever piece fits your day.
