Content: 
Our biking rating system separates the degree of Difficulty and the Length of the ride into two separate indices.

Difficulty

Difficulty Level 1
Easy Terrain		 Flat, with some hills, but not too long or steep.

Difficulty Level 2
Moderate Terrain		 Most of the terrain we cycle is moderate. There may be frequent hills, but seldom exceeding 8% and uninterrupted climbs seldom exceeding 1200 feet. Daily vertical totals should be generally less than 2500 feet. This is terrain the average cyclist in good condition can handle.
 Difficulty Level 3
Difficult Terrain		  This is for the strong cyclist. The average cyclist needs special conditioning prior to cycling difficult terrain. There may be frequent, uninterrupted climbs exceeding 1500 feet vertical with grades sometimes in excess of 10-12%. Daily vertical totals generally exceed 3000 feet.

Length

Length Level A Flat, with some hills, but not too long or steep.
Length Level B 72 to 88 Km (45 to 55 Miles) per day
Length Level C 88 to 112 Km (55 to 70 Miles) per day
Length Level D  greater than 112 Km (70 Miles) per day

Vehicle Supported

The Vehicle Supported icon on the left tells you if the ride is supported by a vehicle - usually a 4x4 pick-up truck.

Alert! - Read the Description Carefully

There are some rides that will not exactly match the Ratings as stated; for example, a 2B ride might have hills steeper than 8% or distances longer than 72 Km on some days. In such cases the "Alert!" icon warns you to read the Ride Description very carefully."
