SOCIAL PACE - follows all parameters of that ride level.
AA SLOW = Less than 10 mph. For families with children and for those who would like a slower pace. Regroups often. Waits for slower riders.
A LEISURELY = 10-12 mph. Stops as needed. Some riding skills required. Waits for slower riders.
B MODERATE = 13-15 mph. Good riders. Social pace. Regroups every 30-45 minutes. Waits for slower riders.
C BRISK = 16-19 mph. Experienced riders. Social pace. Regroups every hour. Requires paceline riding. Will wait for slower riders.
