Ridgeway Loop

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

How we describe routes →

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

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 →

The Ridgeway Loop covers 24 km of Vancouver's quiet cross-town bikeways and parks, collecting public art installations as it goes. Nearly flat and nearly all paved, an easy way to see neighbourhoods the seawall crowds never reach.
