Note the following
The definitions serve as a guideline. Please also study the route descriptions The definitions apply to average country road surfaces The daily distance is a general guideline for country roads. A shorter distance may fall within a category if there are more steep climbs and descents than the general description for a specific grade. In some cases we are incorporating sections of MTB trails into our route. In such instances we are using die definitions of www.trailmaps.biz to supplement our grading.
