Green Valleys

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

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 →

A loop through the green farm country of Salmon Arm, Spallumcheen, and Enderby, ridden at anywhere from 24 to 74 km. Quiet farmland roads, riverside stretches, and a section of rail trail lead past vineyards and historic sites, with some climbing but nothing sustained.
