Please note – the above is a guide only to what you might expect by coming along on the ride concerned. 1* and 2* are suitable for all including those newer riders. 3* would be a ‘normal’ Sunday ride while 4* & 5* means you should think about what you are signing up to. You may not experience all aspects of a grading on any given ride and there will be occasions when a 3* ride would use a motorway.

If you are at all unsure about the ride you are interested in then please contact the lead Road Crew prior to the day and satisfy yourself that you are able to make an informed decision to join the ride.
