Ride Levels & Their Meanings

---

In order to make sure every member is safe and having fun, H.O.G. recommends that every ride is rated based on difficulty. This rating ranges from a Level 1 to a Level 5. Please pick rides that match your riding skills.

These rides typically recommended for new riders or riders who are growing their skills. These rides are usually not very long in distance or time. Level 1 rides do not consist of a lot of technical turns or demands. All riders are welcome to these.  During these rides, riders are taught the basics of group riding as well as hand signals used by the group. 

Similar to a Level 1 ride, Level 2 rides are beginning to be longer rides and or a little more technical. Level 2 rides are for those riders who are more comfortable with group riding and understand how to ride and communicate in a group setting. 

Level 3 rides involve more technical demands and sometimes longer distances. These rides could include but are not limited to: more advanced turns, longer distances, elevation changes and more. These rides are perfect for riders who love a challenge. 

These rides are usually longer and more technically demanding and will be a day or longer of riding. During these rides it is paramount to follow all of the rules of the road as well as group riding rules.  THESE RIDES ARE CLOSED TO MEMBERS ONLY

A Level 5 ride will be the most challenging of them all. These rides are typically the most technical, longest or a combination of both. These rides will mostly be a full days ride or longer. Please consider your riding skills prior to riding these in order to ensure your safety as well as the safety of the group. THESE RIDES ARE CLOSED TO MEMBERS ONLY
