Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada

Road: You'll need a reasonable level of fitness to be able to do a 'club run' (club run being a social Saturday ride, usually with a café stop afterwards). By reasonable level of fitness, we'd suggest that you should be able to ride at about 25kmph on the flat for a distance of about 30 kilometres. If you wanted to ride a club time trial (an event where you ride a set distance against the clock), then you are testing yourself, so there is no minimum speed.

Mountain: We assume you've ridden your bike off-road before, so you've got the basics. The rides go as fast as the slowest rider, and most don't stay at the back of the pack too long! We have a lead rider and a sweep rider to make sure no one gets lost or left behind. These are classified as "No-Drop" rides.
