This Rating system is designed to help riders decide if a ride fits their level of fitness and riding experience. It also is designed so that ride leaders may evaluate and grade their rides.  Riders should not show up for a ride that they are not capable of doing, at the advertised pace.  Note that the average speed for a ride includes time off of the bike at rest stops or for regrouping.  All rides are “No Drop” which means we will not leave riders behind, or that we will wait ahead and regroup, for every rider.  Show up and be ready to ride, at the listed ride time.  Rides leave no later than 10 minutes after the listed starting time.
