Roy Fischman – Morris Area Freewheelers

I don’t think the meet up function will be very useful for members because to see postings a member must first go to the meetup area. Alternatively, the skiing group that I found is more beneficial because it puts the topic on the home page.

I added a feed for groups on the front page underneath the forums listing. You can click on the Group Name to go to the groups page or you can directly add a comment while still on the front page.

  In addition (by default) you will receive an email every time someone posts a message to any group you have joined. For more information on Groups check out the Groups Quick Start Guide: https://mafw.org/groups-quick-start-guide/

    Great. The guide gives some good information. Thanks for putting the comments on the front page. Stay safe in this coming snow. I’ll be frolicking in my nearby woods on my cross country skiis.

DAYTIME PACES (Updated: April 2015)
Pace	Minimum Average Speed	Description
A	18+ mph	Hard fast riding, few stops, slower riders will be dropped, frequent pace lines.
B+	17 mph	For very fit cyclists, slower riders will be dropped, leader rides at listed pace, occasional pace lines.
B	16 mph	For fit cyclists, terrain varies, up to 30 miles between rest stops. Leader sweeps no slower than 16 mph. BUT if there is a concurrent identical (same tour #, same start time) C+ ride, or the ride leader has posted “no sweep” in the ride comments, the leader rides a B pace and does not sweep.
C+	14.5 mph	For accomplished cyclists, terrain varies, up to 30 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 14.5 mph. If there is a concurrent identical (same tour #, same start time) C ride, the Ride Leader may choose not to sweep and depend on the C ride to look after slower C+ riders.
C	13 mph	For accomplished cyclists, terrain varies, up to 30 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 13 mph.
D+	11 mph	For experienced cyclists who want an easier pace, up to 20 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 11 mph.
D	9 mph	Relaxed riding for experienced cyclists, easier terrain, up to 15 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 9 mph (typically no longer than 35 miles and on terrain not more difficult than C+).
CA(Casual)	Casual	Relaxed riding, no steep hills, frequent stops, group stays together.
S (Special)	varies	Special ride. Click on ‘More’ (after login) to read special comments.
