Ride Levels
Most rides planned by the Road Captains and Activities committee are simple, relatively short rides that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their experience level. This is, however, a RIDING group and some events are planned only for more experienced riders prepared for a serious road trip. If the ride level is not specified, you should consider it to be a Level 1 event where riders of all skill levels are welcome to participate.
