Port Moody,BC to Deep Cove and back. We go outbound over Burnaby Mountain, returning a different route over the mountain.
41 miles. 75% paved, 24% unpaved (30mm+ tires recommended, gravel tread is nice)
3,000' climbing

This route should offer some good biking variety from great flowy greenways separated from traffic, bike lanes on fairly busy urban routes and good gravel through the trees of Burnaby Mountain. Of course there will be views a plenty. The destination is Deep Cove which has coffee shops and a great bakery. Oh, and views! We cross high above the Burrard inlet on the iconic Ironworker's Memorial Bridge. We should be back well before the listed time which would give us time for a refreshment and/or a fuel-up from a food truck near the parking before traffic builds.

Please carpool if possible. Contact me if you would like help coordinating that.

Please refer to the Ride classification table in the rides menu.
