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. (It should be noted that this Yahoo group is not affiliated with any specific "cycling clubs" in the local area).

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!!!).
