Definition of rides...

Watch your dog run away for a week flat = < 35'/mile
Flat = 36 - 50'/mi
Moundy = 51 - 75'/mi
Bumpy = 76 - 100'/mi
Hilly = 101' - 125'/mi
Climby = 126' - 150'/mi
Really? >151'/mi

Last summer when I was allowed to ride my bike (long story) 6 laps around my neighborhood - according to Garmin 500
