Levels of Difficulty:

Beginner Trips are for everyone, but are designed for the first time or occasional rider. These are basically flat and on bike paths, or low traffic roads, with lower mileage.

Intermediate trips are for the more experienced biker. Intermediate trips are longer in duration for each day, and can cover some hilly terrain.

Advanced trips are longer in duration and offer more challenging rides. They are recommended for the more experienced bicycler. These trips have longer daily mileage, they may have rolling hills, and often include secondary road travel. You should be comfortable riding alongside cars and trucks for portions of the trip.

Senior Cycling provides sag wagon support (see below) for all trips, so you should not feel that you are limited to any of these trips by your level of experience.

Support:

"Sag wagon" will take riders to drop points and deliver riders to hotels or other accommodations. In addition, the sag wagon will be available throughout the entire day for riders who may not be able to complete the trip. On overnight trips, the sag wagon will drive riders to local restaurants and attractions.

There will be a sweep rider on every trip to help with flats, injuries, or other emergencies.
