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 New Westminster Loop covers 15 km along the Fraser waterfront and up through the city's parks and heritage streets, famous for cherry blossoms in spring and rich colour in fall. Mostly flat riverside with gentle city grades, and the Quay's market makes a natural stop.
