A ride described in Let's Go Biking

How we describe routes →

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.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

Vernon Exploring loops through Vernon and Coldstream for 8 to 13 km, stringing together urban parks, the city's famous murals and public art, historic sites, and breweries. A few hills, but nothing a coffee stop can't fix.
