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.
