**The Ride: Detail**
**++++++++++++++++++++**
Let's try a new route and do some leaf-peeping! We'll start at the parking lot in front of the Glasgow Middle School, then after a careful crossing of Columbia Pike, we will do a clockwise ride in and out of all the hills, nooks and cranny's around Lake Barcroft. Once we've circled it, we will take an abbreviated counterclockwise path back to the school parking lot. This is a "lean" ride, meaning there is no sweep, but we will keep to a Medium pace, regrouping at the tops of hills to enjoy the scenery for an enjoyable fall ride.

There are no bathrooms or water fountains, so please arrive with full water bottles and an empty bladder.
Dress in light layers for the cool, autumn weather.
This is a Medium ride due to the distance and hilly, street riding.

**Ride Level Chart**

NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types/levels of rides. We just ask that you come to the ride that suits your current riding ability the best.

* Introductory Level: If you haven't ridden a bike in a number of years (or are uncertain of your abilities on a bicycle).
* Beginner Level: You can ride for 10+ miles at a pace of 10+ to 12+ mph with potentially minor hills involved.
* Medium Level: You can ride for 20+ miles at a pace of 13+ to 15+ mph with potentially moderate hills involved.
* Advanced Level: You can ride for 20++ miles at a pace of 15+ mph with potentially major hills involved.

Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations.
