About the Journey

This loop which gets very hilly at times offers a variety of superb greenways and parks. Through Coquitlam we will enjoy older parts that include Como Lake Park, Blue Mt. Park, Mundy Park and Riverview, as well as, Coquitlam Centre Park, the Coquitlam River and the David Ave Parkway. In Port Moody and Poco, it takes in Sasamat Lake, Bedwell Bay, Belcarra Regional Park, as well as the Shoreline Trail along Moody Inlet to Rocky Point Park the old parts of town. It involves greenways, bike paths, and some roadway. Along the Coquitlam River we experience part of the PoCo Trail.
This extraordinary routing which is close to 60 kms in length for the complete loop will feel more like 65 kms because of its hill climbs and relatively slow trails. This routing has been changed to reduce repetition from another TriCity Cycle Tour and now includes the upper west side of Coquitlam.

Here is a Youtube video of a large part of this ride:

GPS INFORMATION:

  • KML/KMZ files can be opened in Google Earth, and many smartphone apps.
  • GPX files can be opened by most GPS software apps when KMZ cannot. Note, GPX files do not contain custom colours and icons that we use on our maps; all tracks and icons will appear the same colours and styles. We recommend using KMZ instead when possible.
  • GPX-Garmin are GPX files that we have optimized for older Garmin units that only display tracks that contain 500 points or less (such as Garmin eTrex units).

Visit our GPS & Navigation page for instructions of how to use your smartphone as a GPS device (even when outside of data coverage) or how to import data to your Garmin unit.

Did you know that the Giant Sitka Spruce in the header is along the Hoy Creek greenway and is probably the largest one in the whole of Metro Vancouver?
