Winthrop Gravel Tour

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
