POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Riding Paces


 
Our on road support services are planned to support the following wide range of riding paces:
  • A minimum average riding speed of 12 mph, stopping at every rest stop
  • A maximum average riding speed of 24 mph, with no stops
  • A 30 minute maximum stop at every rest stop

The average riding pace of our participants is around 14 to 15 mph, not including stopping time at rest stops. We can easily support you if your average riding pace is either below or significantly above this average, including riders whose pace averages above 20 mph.

Your expected arrival time in the next stopping town is highly dependent on your average pace, the daily distances and terrain, how much time you spend at the rest stops, and any problems you encounter on the road. Arrival times range anywhere from late morning for our fastest participants on shorter days to late evening for our slowest participants on longer days.
