Reston Bicycle Club - Ride Levels

Ride Levels

RBC ride groups are divided into 5 levels to help riders find a group that best matches their riding abilities. Some events will combine levels into a single group on days when there are few riders in a specific level.

Group	Average Speed MPH (KPH)	Rides	Style
A	21+ (33.5+)	Tuesday Hunters Woods Thursday Fox Mill Saturday Ride to Leesburg	"Race Intensity" - ridden at a fast tempo with high pace on hills. These rides are not races. Safety of all riders is prioritized over "racing."
B	19-21 (30.5-33.5)	Tuesday/Thursday Fox Mill Saturday Ride to Leesburg Sunday Tour Century Training Series	Fast tempo rides with a few "sprint" points and subsequent short regroups.
C	17-19 (27.5-30.5)	5 PM Tuesday/Thursday Ride Saturday Herndon-Belmont-Broadlands Sunday Tour Century Training Series	Social ride at a steady pace.
D	15-17 (24-27.5)	Monday Green Lizard Women 5 PM Tuesday/Thursday Ride Saturday Herndon-Belmont Broadlands Sunday Tour Century Training Series	Social ride with more regrouping after hills.
E	12-15 (19-24)	Monday Fox Mill Women Ramble Thursday Lake House Women	Social pace. These are no-drop rides.

Select a level or speed that you can comfortably maintain for the posted length of the ride without falling behind. If you are unsure which group is the best fit, we strongly encourage you to choose conservatively, or email info@restonbikeclub.org to learn more about the particular rides you are interested in. If you choose to join a slower-paced group, please respect the intended pace of the rides.
