Around Richmond

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.

How we describe routes →

Around Richmond loops the island city for 38 km on former rail corridors and dykes, flat the entire way, tracing the Fraser River and the sea. Historic sites dot the route, and the bird life along the estuary is world-class. A satisfying half-day with no hill in sight.
