If you're looking for a biking adventure, Canada is the place to go! Experienced bikers will particularly love Canada's rugged terrain and demanding trails to test their skill levels and challenge them. There are, however, some trails in Canada suitable for less experienced bikers, as well. Take a look at what I found!
Beginners may want to try the singletrack route from Old Fort Point going to Valley of the Five Lakes. Located in Alberta, Canada, this 14-mile track provides easy entrance and exit points on the trail so newbie riders can avoid some of the more technical sections of the trail if they desire. Experienced riders will enjoy the technical inclines and challenging descents in a few areas, as well. This is a busy place in the summer, though, so stay alert to other biking traffic on this trail.
The Mont Ste-Anne Ski Area near Quebec City has dozens of trails of different lengths and experience levels. There is a $6 fee to get in and fees if you use the chairlifts. There is some incredible scenery to be viewed from the top and you might even be fortunate enough to see some large wildlife (moose, bear, etc.). For the more experienced bikers, there are plenty of technical trails to choose from that will keep you hopping!
A favorite of bikers in British Columbia is the Burnaby Mountain trails. There is a wide variety of trails, some paved, some gravel. There are some technical spots and fast descents for the experienced biker. Try to get a map of the area to find out the different names of each trail and what each entails.
Another ski area located near Bathrust, New Brunswick, also offers biking trails. With just about 10 miles in singletrack trails, you can select from steep inclines, fast descents, and bridges to navigate if you're an experienced biker. More trails are constantly being added, and they are very well kept. The locals highly recommend this area! A group ride is held each Tuesday evening, and you can join in if you like.
Porcupine Ridge near Bracebridge, Ontario is a fun ride for the experienced rider. There are 8 miles of trails to choose from. You won't find a lot of climbs or descents, but there are lots of rocks, roots and some incredible drop-offs to keep things interesting. It's a very technical ride, but lots of fun!
You may also want to check out Air Supply, a small 1-mile track for experts only! Located in North Vancouver, British Columbia, anyone who isn't a pro will want to watch from the sidelines, but it's exciting even just to watch! This trail features high wall rides, high skinnys, huge ladder jumps and ladder drops, gaping 10-20 foot gaps, and both a double teeter totter and a swivel teeter totter!
Hopefully you will find something here that fits your experience level and location. Always have your camera ready when riding in Canada. You never know when you'll run across some incredible vista or some friendly wildlife! As always, happy biking!
