Great Falls Bicycle Club Rides
Classifications and Rules
Classifications – All rides will be given a classification of "A" to "D" based on the pace of the ride and the frequency of stops to regroup. "A" rides are slowest; "A" and "B" rides have frequent to semi-frequent stops. On "C" and "D" rides there is no obligation to wait for slower riders if route directions are given.
Click for a list of Road Rides that members may pursue on the Wednesday Night rides, at other times – or that you may want to try yourself.
