Ride Sign-Up Sheet	Ride Capt. Reference Guide
RIDE TYPE: "SS" = SlowSpokes Ride - Ride Captain provides cue sheets for all ride distances; rides (or finds someone to ride) with slower or new riders; sends list of rider names to Statistician. Pace is generally from 10-18 mph. "WH" = Wheelmen Ride - Ride Captain has same responsibilities as SS Ride Captains, but these rides tend to be faster, hillier, and harder than SS rides. Pace is generally from 17-23 mph. "SP" = Sponsored Ride - These rides usually require registration and may have fees. Most of these rides have full rider support and SAG/food stops. Ride Captain sends list of rider names to Statistician. If registration or a fee is required for a ride, the member must have registered or paid the fee to receive club mileage. Check the event's website or call the Ride Captain for more information. "CL" = Club Event TERRAIN RATINGS: Terrain Ratings are based on a 4 point scale. Subjectively, they may be understood as: 1=flat/easy, 2=flat with a few hills, 3=moderately hilly, 4=hilly/challenging. The TR# is objectively determined based on the average feet-per-mile of climbing over the entire route: TR # AVERAGE FEET-PER-MILE OF CLIMBING WITH A MAXIMUM GRADE OF 4 = 56+   * 11% 3 = 41-55 9% 2 = 26-40 7% 1 = 0-25 4% If the maximum grade for a terrain rating is exceeded, then a "+" is added to the rating. This indicates a hill climb or two that are uncharacteristically challenging based on the route's average terrain (feet-per-mile). * Click image for larger view.
