Ride Levels
RBC ride groups are divided into 6 numbered 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 MPH | Average Miles | Style |
|---|---|---|---|
| A or 1 | 22+ | 40 - 100 | Aggressive | Grueling Pace |
| B or 2 | 20 - 21 | 35 - 75 | Fast Riders | Demanding Pace |
| CC or 3 | 18 - 20 | 30 - 60 | Strong Riders | Demanding Pace |
| C or 4 | 17 - 18 | 25 - 50 | Average Riders | Moderate Pace |
| D or 5 | 14 - 17 | 25 - 40 | Average Riders | Slowing on Hills |
| S or 6 | 12 - 14 | 15 - 30 | New & Casual Riders | Easy Pace |
Select a level or speed that you can comfortably maintain over 1.5 - 2 hours without falling behind. If you are unsure which group is the best fit, we strongly encourage you to choose conservatively.
