• MF = Moderately Fast (speedo av. 24-26kph)
• Q = Quick (speedo average 27-29kph)
• F = Fast pace (speedo average 30kph plus)

HILL GRADING

• 1 = basically flat (uphill stretches are few and far between)
• 2 = some hills (more than 2/3 of the ride is on flat terrain; steep climbs are short, and few and far between)
• 3 = moderate hills (up to 1/3 of the ride is uphill; may include long or steep climbs, but not long and steep)
• 4 = serious hills (mostly hills AND/OR includes one or two climbs comparable to, but not more difficult than - Mt Coot-tha)
