What Kind of Rider Are You?
- R/P: Recreational (R) - For the moderate to
advanced cyclist, this series will add to your riding
pleasure and help you get ready for summer tours such as
Ride the Rockies, Pedal the Peaks, or the Courage
Classic. Performance (P) - If you are focusing on speed
events such as time trials or road races, or merely like
to ride in a fast group, RMCC's Performance Rides will
help you train.
- End: Endurance (End) - These training rides
continually progress in distance and difficulty to
prepare cyclists for longer rides such as the Triple
Bypass, Denver-Aspen Classic, Grand Loop,
Boston-Montreal-Boston (2004), or Paris-Brest-Paris
(2007).
- All: One ride serving as both Recreational/Performance and
Endurance.
- B: Brevet
(B) - A brevet is a challenging endurance event,
conducted under the auspices of Randonneurs USA (RUSA),
which can be use to qualify for super-randonee events.
More like a rally for well-conditioned cyclists, its
distances must be completed within a specified time
limit, and checkpoints and some night riding can be
involved. Pre-registration is required. Brevets can be
used to qualify for RAAM (Ride Across AMerica), PBP
(Paris-Brest-Paris) and BMB (Boston-Montreal-Boston)
ultra-marathon events. Contact John Lee Ellis for more information.
