Riding
Bicycling
A network of unofficial and informal, but well-maintained, mountain-bike trails exist on the Caren Range.
We do not recommend bicycle riding on Hwy. 101 and local roads. There are no sidewalks, shoulders are narrow or non-existent, and numerous corners are blind. To make a dangerous situation worse, drivers often have no room to safely negotiate around a cyclist.
Motorcycling
The Sunshine Coast Highway is a biker’s dream with its dips, curves, picturesque destinations and year-round riding weather. But, watch for loose gravel where side roads meet the highway, watch for deer, bears and elk, and note that the RCMP rarely forgive speed violations. Crotch-rocket jockeys who think Highway 101 is their personal race course (you know who you are) are not particularly welcome.

Trail Rides
Guided trail rides into the Pender Harbour areas of the Caren Range offer spectacular vistas and easy access from Kleindale. Please watch for groups crossing Hwy. 101 near Menacher Road. See Business Directory> Recreation (Trail Rides).
Equestrian
Several hobby farms board horses and lessons are available in jumping and show routines. As well, there are several show routines on the Sunshine Coast where a few young Pender Harbour riders excel.
