A 55 km introduction to North Shore gravel: cross the Lions Gate Bridge with the city at your back, then climb into the mountains on a mix of pavement and steep dirt, including the Fern Trail doubletrack with its views back over the Vancouver skyline. The ride tops out around the Cleveland Dam and Capilano River before the descent home. About 1,100 m of climbing, and it earns every metre.
