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 →The north Sunshine Coast offers rides from a 5.5 km Okeover Arm amble to the coast's big adventures: the ferry-to-ferry road run, the 13 km Inland Lake loop on one of BC's most accessible trails, quiet roads to Lund at the end of Highway 101, and for the ambitious, trail options along the 180 km Sunshine Coast Trail corridor. Forest, lakes, and waterfront throughout, with real hills on the longer routes.
