Bicycling and In-Line Skating Rating System

Biking Codes:

Our rides are rated on the basis of pace, terrain, and mileage.

Pace:            Average mph while riding.

Terrain:        Road / Hybrid – ranging from “A” for flat and paved to “F” for mountainous.

Mountain – “A” beginner, “C” intermediate, “E” expert.

Mileage:       Total distance of the ride.

Check the ride description for the type of bikes suitable for the ride (road, hybrid, mountain) and for the duration of a ride. 10C50 would cover 50 miles at an average riding speed of 10 mph in five hours, but with 2 hours of stops would be a 7 hour ride.

Transportation: Bikes are permitted on most buses and trains. Check with the carrier beforehand. MetroNorth requires a nonexpiring bike pass available at GCT for $5.

Become a ride leader; new routes are always welcome. Both day trips and overnights are appreciated. Contact bicycle [at] amc-ny [dot] org.
