A-rides generally go at 19–22 mph on flat terrain. B-rides range from 15–18 mph on flat terrain. C-rides range from 12–14 mph on flat terrain. (Average speed is usually about 3 mph slower than the listed pace.) The main differences between A-, B- and C-rides are the speed, distance, and number of stops. Also A rides typically ride in paceline formation whereas the B- and C-rides may not, depending of course on the group and on the leader.
