Ride Levels:

Our rides are now colour-coded to give you a clearer idea of which level is right for you. We describe the level of technical difficulty, as well as the pace or fitness level for each ride.

Light blue
This ride is great for getting to know our trails, and sharpening your skills and fitness. We'll ride mostly blue trails with a few harder bits thrown in depending on the group. Typical routes might include Skull, Ruffles, Heads Up, or Sofa King

Blue/Black
Your fitness and technical skills are pretty good, and you feel comfortable on Hartland’s blue trails and some of the black features like drops, rolls and technical terrain. Typical Routes might include Inventive and Little Face, Jelly Roll and Lumpy Pants (with medium-sized rolls and drops)

Black
You’re looking for some of Hartland’s most technical and challenging terrain. If you like 90s Jank, Hot Tamale and Organ Donor, you’ll like this ride.

Pace


Easygoing
You are comfortable on a mountain bike, and you often need to walk the steeper climbs.

Steady
You make it up most climbs at Hartland, but sometimes need to stop part way.

Quick
You can ride all the climbs at Hartland without needing to stop and catch your breath.

We acknowledge and respect the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, on whose traditional territories we live, ride, and gather. We recognize their historic and ongoing relationship to these lands, and we are grateful to share in the places that nourish our bodies, minds, spirits, and community.
