B&C RIDE The B&C Rides are led at an average of 14-16mph and 12-14mph, respectively. The ride leader will wait at a few intersections (for no more than a minute) to re-group. C ride is a 12 to 14 mph pace, and no one is left behind. This loop is hilly, but at the same time as mellow as Baltimore County gets for a 25-mile ride. Our route includes a sustained climb up Knox Road to the top of our elevation. We'll see some rollers on Butler Rd, then a couple of punchy climbs. Any roadie can join us. B & C Ride 26.5 mi at 14 -16 & 12-14 avg https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46104097 A-RIDE The A-Ride is challenging! Your ride leaders are fast and will encourage the group to work together to go even faster. The A-Pace will average well over 17 mph. There will not be any waiting for dropped riders. There is no sweep. Expect a paceline and a challenging pace on the climbs. This isn't a competition. Your ride leaders will guide you on a slightly longer course (see the link below). The two rides may come back together once or twice, so switching groups might be an option.
