People don't believe me anymore when I say a ride will be moderate. Depending on the people I'm with that either means so difficult I'm going to drop them and leave them in my dust, or so damn easy they can pick flowers while they wait for me. On hills especially, moderate and difficult have such wide ranges they are essentially meaningless.
