Kick off your ride in the vibrant city of Vancouver, known for its stunning landscapes and diverse culture. As you pedal away from the city, you'll be cruising mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making the journey peaceful and enjoyable. The path is pretty smooth with 81% of it being asphalt—so your ride should be quite comfortable.

Throughout the 13.37-kilometer journey, you’ll only climb about 67 meters, so it’s a breeze for any cycling ability. The descent is about twice that, meaning there's a nice downhill segment to look forward to. Eventually, you'll descend into Richmond, a charming city famous for its bustling Asian food scene and picturesque waterfronts. Definitely a treat to explore once you get off the bike!

With the highest point of the ride reaching just over 104 meters, you won't be gasping for air, but you'll have some lovely views along the way. The ride is devoid of busy roads, as 58% of the route consists of quiet roads and 30% is on cycleways. So, you can focus on soaking in the scenery instead of dodging traffic. Happy riding!
