Trail = Trail Name, Trail Named for Location or Trail Name + variation of route.
"The Payoff" Meter Rating = This is totally subjective in my opinion.  I base it on Challenge, Fun vs. Drive Time, Scenery, Speed &  Fluidity of Trail, The Amount of Reward vs. Amount of Work & just where I'd pick to ride if I had a choice!
Location = Approximate location for reference.
Appx. Drive Time = Time to drive from the I-5 Bridge near downtown Vancouver with me doing near the speed limit on my route.
Length = Approximate length of rideable trail.  This varies massively due to the options you encounter on each trail - ITS APPX.
Level = Based on the group of people I ride with & how much technical skill and/or physical exertion it takes us experienced riders.
Last Reported Conditions = Actual conditions listed last time it was ridden or observed at the trail or from the air. Reports are guaranteed for accuracy.  You are using this site at your own risk & take full responsibility for your own decisions & actions.
