If you follow me on Instagram<\/a>, you will have seen some of my biking stories. My husband and I have cycled a number of bike routes and trails across Metro Vancouver, and one of our favourite ones is the Traboulay PoCo Trail. Why, you ask? Because this trail offers nice rewards for beer lovers like us, and like you!<\/p>\n

But first, let me tell you more about the Traboulay PoCo Trail<\/a>. This 25 km trail loops around the entire community of Port Coquitlam, it\u2019s mostly flat and is well-maintained with a mix of paved paths and hard-packed gravel surfaces. This trail is great for cyclists of all levels, and it\u2019s also suitable for runners, walkers, and even families with strollers. For me, it\u2019s the constant change of scenery and wildlife spotting opportunities that make the Traboulay PoCo Trail appealing. As we bike along the trail, we get a variety of landscapes from forest and farmland to meadow and marsh, riverfront and creekside. We hear various birds chirping; we have even had bear encounters (from a safe distance, of course!) It also takes you through the city centre, where you will likely find yourself at one of the five breweries in Port Coquitlam for a pit stop.<\/p>\n
