Advance Rides: Want to challenge yourself without becoming so out of breath that you can't converse with the cyclists around you? These rides average 15-17 mph on the flats, with or without point/drop/sweep. Suitable for advanced riders who want to see the scenery but not to dawdle. Good choice for riders who want to ride longer distances and or faster paces.
