Glen Valley Glide

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

How we describe routes →

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

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 →

The Glen Valley Glide loops 30 km through quiet farmland and riverside country between Fort Langley and Abbotsford, following stretches of former rail corridor past small wineries. Rolling rather than flat, and glorious in fall colour.
