Two factors make up the ride grade; terrain and distance. In addition traffic, road conditions, ride pace, and weather can add to the difficulty of any given ride. All these factors are important considerations for riders when they select rides to participate in.
If there are any addition conditions that may effect the difficulty of the ride they should be noted in the Ride Description.
Terrain is represented by an alpha letter.
A - Steep - Mostly steep grades: strong riders only.
B - Steep/Moderate - Some relief from steep grades.
C - Moderate - Hilly; a challenge for the average rider.
D - Moderate/Easy - Rolling hills, a challenge for beginners.
E - Easy - Some gentle grades, but no problems.
F - Flat - If any route is really flat.
Distance is represented by the actual number of miles.
