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.

How we describe routes →A 33 km route exploring North Vancouver's hidden neighbourhood connectors, with singletrack, steep climbs, and fast downhills. What goes up comes down, and nowhere is that truer than North Van. Just over half unpaved, and a good shakedown for bike and rider alike.
