Overview

About this collection

Mostly off-road and easy to follow, this collection links the Royal Recreation Trail’s cycleway stretches with a few short path and pedestrian sections. Expect lots of gravel and other unpaved surfaces, with some asphalt in the mix. It rides best on wider tires (35 mm+), gravel, or hybrid bikes; skinny road tires will want a little extra care on rough bits. There’s no fixed start or finish—just hop on where it suits you and roll. Watch for the brief pedestrian areas and yield or slow down as needed. It’s a chill pick for everyday spins, sightseeing, or a relaxed workout with minimal traffic. After rain, some sections can turn soft or muddy, so plan your tires and timing accordingly.
