Chico Bike Rides is an open group for people who cycle in Northern California - in particular, the Chico area! It provides a calendar for people to post rides and/or to find rides to take part in, as well as a forum for cyclists to post questions and comments about local (and not so local) rides. It's a great way to keep up-to-date on local cycling events, rides, conversation, etc.

All rides start at One-Mile unless otherwise noted.

Terrain Rating
---------------------
1: Flat ride (example: River Road)
2: Some rolling hills (Keefer Road)
3: Moderate climbing (Neal Road)
4: Significant climbing (Centerville AND Honey Run)

Pace Ratings
--------------------
You should be able to ride this pace comfortably for 30 minutes on a flat road,:
A: 10-12 mph (ride as group)
B: 13-15 mph (frequent re-groups)
C: 16-18 mph (regular re-groups)
D: 19-21 mph (occasional re-groups)
E: 22-24 mph (possible re-groups)
F: 25+ mph

So, for example, the Fast 50 ride would be considered a 1F ride. Or, if you were to ride to Cohasset with Rodney, that would be a 4A(well....I usually climb Cohasset MUCH slower than 10mph!!!).
