Our club developed a test of "fast". A local hill climbs 800 feet in 4.4 miles. Slowest riders take 26+ minutes to get to the top. Then strong club riders, then fast riders, then racer types who get to the top in under 19 minutes. New people can ride the hill and see where they fit in before joining a group ride. Novices ride to sniff the flowers, regroup frequently and do not move on until all are accounted for. Racers sprint for city limits and such, rarely regroup, and drop those who are more then a minute or two late. I sniff the flowers (there are more women in that group ).
