Rides grades

LIZ BNSW*

22 June 2009

As an aid for those looking for a ride, and also for those Ride Coordinators charged with the responsibility of entering rides into the online calendar, Bicycle NSW has provided the following guide...

An easy ride is normally classified as under 15km per hour with no hills and up 15k ride for beginner or 20k otherwise

A mid ride is 15km + and under 23km per hour with some up flats (small hills) between 25k and 40k ride

Hard ride is 25km + per hour with hills or just a very hilly ride so you need to be fit. The length of the ride can vary depending on the amount off hills. If flat it can be 70k to 100k
