Group Ride Speed / Distance Categories Ride leaders are responsible for setting the category as part of the posting of their ride, and adhering to that category during the ride. Ride participants are responsible for understanding the category and being able to meet the speed and distance requirements associated with the category of ride they are on. If in doubt whether a group ride is appropriate for you, join an easier ride or one that is posted as a mixed category ride (e.g. "E/F", "C/C+").The ride speed are the average Rolling (moving) speed of the ride. Wind / Hill conditions can allow for slightly higher or lower speeds as the ride progresses. The no-drop and ride as a group policies of the club take precedence over speed considerations.Ride Speed Categories as of 11/13/2020
