PACE GROUP DEFINITIONS

“Advanced” or “A”  Pace (advanced/competitive) is for the competitive cyclist in a training race-like environment looking for the challenge to ride at the upper end of their abilities within a group that will push the pace; however, our group rides are not races. 

("A" moving pace is 16-20 mph, depending on the group)

“Intermediate” or “B” Pace (Moderate) is for the cyclist who likes a challenge but is not interested in race-like training conditions where the pace is challenged by top-end speeds. For those training for a century ride, these are excellent and necessary conditioning rides. (B Moving pace is 14 to 18 mph; where the majority of our rides will be)

“Beginner” or “C” Pace (recreational/social) is for the cyclist mostly interested in getting a little exercise and new to riding with the group. The ride leader will make sure that no one is dropped. This ride is focused on safety, moderate exercise, and socializing - not speed. 

(Beginner or “C” Pace average is 12 to 16 mph )
