90% gravel endless scenery. Superb in fall.
An autumn day spent searching for a trail without being in the undergrowth to enjoy the last rays of sunshine of the year, watching the salmon swim upstream to their spawning grounds and, with a bit of luck, surprising – or being surprised by – a bear or two in search of food before hibernation. Coquitlam, in the suburbs of Vancouver, offers all the advantages, plus the recent opening of Widgeon Marsh Park to the public. It is a very small part of a vast expanse of flooded land protected as a nature reserve, but it is a superb environment that gives us a goal. Accessibility by car is limited to only a few vehicles. A free permit for a 3-hour shift can be requested online due to very limited parking. By bicycle, we pass the checkpoint without any problems.
This circuit is a superb loop with only two relatively short climbs, but with a gradient of more than 12%. The rest is rolling and free of traffic. It's an atmosphere that encourages you to stroll rather than sprint.
