Rides via mountian or street bike
Much like hiking, we have 4 categories for biking. These rides are either on a dirt trail for mountain biking or with skinny tires for a good long street ride. Each ride is noted with either mt for mountain bike, st for street rides or tr for general paved trail ride. Note: skill level will alter if you are riding a mountain bike verses using a street worthy bike or full on road bike. The bigger the tire you are pushing the longer it will take you. If you are riding a mountain bike on a street ride take away up to 4 miles an hour for timing. Example if you normally ride at a 14 mile an hour pace using a street bike with skinny tires, your rate of travel may be 10 miles an hour on a mountain bike.
Easy rides - It's just that, easy, good for kids, low level activity, low sweat factor . You are here and that is great, "easy". These rides are relatively no elevation gain and usually within 10 miles.
Moderate rides - This has a moderate gain, and steady activity levels, "intermediate". These rides have moderate elevation gain, no more than 3 moderate hills and usually within 25 miles.
Tough rides - Great for endurance training and increasing your activity levels, it will be a good day. Rides under this topic are noted in two sections "tough" and "pretty tough", for whatever suits your day to come. These rides have up to 5 moderate to tough hills and/or within 45 miles.
Adventure or long distance rides - This one you need to be prepared for, this one is likely to hurt a bit, a possible tear of pain or drop of blood, whichever suits you, "most difficult". Definite pain association, usually a difficult ride, endurance training necessary, and for those that need to go big, "ultra". These rides are anything and everything. Could be long (40 miles plus) with no hills to a gauntlet of nastys over 1,000 miles. Let's just face it... if it says extreme chances it is.
