Ride Classifications
All TCC scheduled rides show a category so that you will know what to expect on a scheduled ride.
The speeds are guidelines, but if you are on a ride that was supposed to be a class 'B', and it's gotten faster, you should let the leader know that the pace is above what you were expecting.
