Rating System

The rating system is a rough guide for determining a ride's level of difficulty. Rides rated 2-B or higher may be too difficult for beginners; please call leader if you are unsure of your ability. Participation is not limited to members. Minors (under 18) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Rides begin 15 minutes after designated meeting time.
