Rider Groups

OC Velo Club Rides are designed for four distinct rider-group levels of endurance, fitness and skill.

A1 - Highest level of endurance, fitness and skill. Rides are considered 'drop' rides, only regrouping for mechanicals and typically have greatest distance and elevation gain with an average speed of 19+ mph (30.5+ km/h)

A2 - Considered 'non-drop' rides with slowing for riders dropped off the back and regrouping at left turns to stay together. Same distance and route as A1 group with a slightly slower pace that averages 17 mph (27.3 km/h)

B - 'Non-drop' rides that regroup to stay together and having shorter distance with less elevation gain than A1 and A2 groups. Average speed is similar to A2 group

C - Moderate distance and elevation gain with easiest pace that averages 15 to 16 mph (24 - 26 km/h)

Participants on organized Club rides are to use the route established by the Club from start to finish. If individual riders decide the route is unsatisfactory, they are encouraged to NOT start the route with the Club, or chose their own route independent of the organized Club ride. Individual riders are not to 'recruit' other participants on any organized Club rides for a different route. This is to ensure ALL participants can be accounted for, and to help maintain the safety of all riders.

If you are a non-member and wish to join one of the organized Club rides, you MUST bring a SIGNED release form with you and give it to the Ride Leader before the ride begins. Download the Release Form here.
You can also click here to complete the Release Form from your mobile device.

In case of an emergency, everyone participating in one of the organized Club rides must carry valid forms of identification such as a driving license and health insurance card.
