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.

The Iona Jetty runs arrow-straight into the Strait of Georgia from Iona Beach on Sea Island, one of the region's most unusual rides: 4 km out over the water with ocean on both sides, part of an 8 to 24 km outing from Richmond. Dead flat, big skies, and world-class birdwatching at the beach and lagoons.
