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.

Westham Island, reached over a one-lane wooden swing bridge near Ladner, offers a quiet 10 to 18 km out-and-back through berry farms and a small winery, ending near the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, one of Canada's top birding sites. Flat, calm, and best in migration season.
