Average Speed |
Enjoyed by: |
| Touring |
less
than 12 mph |
For new riders or
riders who've been away from cycling for a few years.
These rides take either very quiet and flat roads
or the Rail Trail. |
| C |
12 - 15
mph |
For cyclists who
ride regularly but are more comfortable at this pace.
These rides avoid steep hills, and regroup often so that
riders stay together. |
| B |
15 - 18 mph |
For more
experienced cyclists who prefer to ride on a
faster paced ride. Routine to hard riding over
challenging terrain. 'B' rides generally regroup at the
top of climbs. |
| A |
18+ mph |
For strong,
experienced, conditioned cyclists. There is no
expectation of regrouping on these rides. (Although it
can happen) |
Not sure which rides you might find enjoyable? We recommend
starting with a 'C' ride and moving to other rides as
you feel inclined. Still not sure? Call Doug at 256-0332 to
discuss your interests or concerns.
