Description of Ride Levels

Novice Rides - These rides are meant to help beginning riders improve their skills.  The pace accommodates the slowest riders in the group.  Intermediate and advanced riders, who don't mind riding slow and giving tips to the new riders are welcome to join these rides.
 
Social Intermediate Rides - The pace is moderate and fun with more of a social element.  There will be more stopping and talking than a regular intermediate ride.  Stronger riders are asked not to ride ahead of the group.  Aggressive novice riders, who are willing to push themselves, are welcome to join these rides.
 
Intermediate Rides - The pace will be moderate to fast and more technically challenging.  Only intermediate or advanced rider should attend these rides.  Strong riders should slow their pace to that of the group.
 
Intermediate / Advanced Rides - Similar to the intermediate rides except the stronger riders are welcome to ride ahead at a faster pace stopping to regroup at turn points.  We may split the riders into two groups with the stronger group riding a faster pace and adding optional trails.
 
Advanced Rides - Only advanced riders should attend these rides.  The pace is fast and completive and the terrain is usually more difficult.  These rides do not accommodate slower riders.
