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 ferry-hop pairing with two very different personalities: Texada, the big quiet island of gravel roads, forest, and honest hills, ridden in sections from 16 to 48 km, and little Savary, 18 km of sandy lanes rimmed by some of BC's warmest beaches, reached by water taxi. Together they make 18 to 100 km of seaside riding with wildlife, history, and hardly any traffic.
