Cycling Trails
For years, both professional racers and cycling enthusiasts have been coming to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for some of the best cycling in the Lower Mainland. They love our network of quiet, well-paved roads, spectacular parks, and 30-plus miles of scenic dykes.
With bike lanes on many streets, bike lockups at several local businesses and annual or recurring cycling events, our communities are a great place to get out and enjoy your bike.
Here are a few trails to explore with the family:
Bike Route Map
Blue Heron Loop
Hawk-Rotary Loop
Osprey Loop
Interested in BMX? Visit the Cottonwood BMX & Community Park. Drop by on the weekend and check out the races.
For mountain bikers, Golden Ears Provincial Park and the BCIT Woodlot 0007 offer excellent trails. The Woodlot is suited for the experienced and skilled mountain biker. Although the BCIT Woodlot doesn’t have an official website that promotes mountain biking, all you need to do is perform a Google search with words like “woodlot, Maple Ridge, mountain biking.” If you see trail names like Blood Donor, Hoots, and Giant Killer appear, you’re in the right place. Tons of reviews, videos and trail maps are available on the Internet.
Remember…when you roam into the backcountry, cell phones are not always reliable. Make sure you let someone know where you are and always ride with a buddy.
