This is the steady (12-14 mph)  version of Jake's moderate ride for those of us that like to ride at a more sustainable and enjoyable pace.

Come join us for a morning ride to Black Diamond. (Thanks Jeff Silbaugh for the route.) A friendly ride out to Black Diamond with a midpoint break for coffee at the Black Diamond Bakery. The ride features some light climbing for your pastry in the first part of the ride which is followed by a mostly downhill second half. First ten RSVP's ride for free. Mentoring is available for prospective Ride Leaders with advance notice and if we have at least 5 riders.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Some Hills

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
