I know we discussed this before last year but there was never much consensus. As I am now trying to break into the Portland cycling community (which looks awesome) I'm looking a lot at how thy rate rides and trying to find something interesting but not too hard for me.
They have this system. The speed is for what the group will maintain on flats (even if there are none on the ride)
Ride Difficulty Scale For Road Rides
Pace Rating Terrain
A 12 & Under -19kph 1 = Flat
B 13-14 MPH -21kph 2 = Flat / Rolling
C 15-16 MPH -25kph 3 = Rolling
D 17-18 MPH -28kph 4 = Rolling / Hilly
E 19-20 MPH -32kph 5 = Hilly
F 21-22 MPH. -35kph 6 = Hilly Mountainous
G 23+ MPH. -fast 7= Mountainous
I hope you guys don't roast this summer. And I hope it eventually breaks 20C here...
