A Sechelt bike trail that does not require a really serious bike is found in West Sechelt at the north end of Nickerson Road. To access the trail, turn left just past the powerline and park at the end of the road. The Heritage Road Connector trail begins here and is a wide gravel walking trail that connects Reeves Road to Heritage Road via Crowston Road. If you go straight to the end of the trail there is a beautiful view of Porpoise Bay, and if you take the right fork to Ripple Way you end up at the Sechelt playing fields and the Blue Ocean Golf Course. This is a relaxing level route that anyone with any kind of bike can enjoy riding.
However, if you do have a mountain bike and want some adventure, I suggest you start your ride on the Heritage Road Connector and after a short distance take the first trail on the left. It is a single track through the forest and is part of the BC Bike Race route. Take the right fork when you come to it and follow it out to Mason Road. Turn right on Mason Road and go north to Heritage Road. Turn right on Heritage Road and follow it until you get to Sandpiper Road. Turn right and you will find a sign that shows the trails through Kinnikinnick Park. This is where you need the mountain bike to go over roots, rocks, and bridges. When you finish the adventure in Kinnikinnick Park, exit the Park onto Ripple Way. Go west on Ripple Way towards the playing fields and at the end of the road you will find the trail that connects with the Heritage Road Connector trail. Follow it back to your vehicle.
This route is a moderate workout and if it gets dark you don’t need to worry too much about finding your way back because the trail is level and easy.
