Our rating system gives an idea of the required

fitness level and of what you can expect of

technical riding and trails.

The first number stands for the fitness level:

1: for starting or occasional bikers

2: for experienced bikers, who go out

every week in search for the better trails

3: for the experienced and well trained bikers,

who don't shun a challenge

The second number stands for technical riding,

keep in mind that all our raids are real

mountain bike trips and paved roads

are avoided wherever possible:

1: generally good rolling terrain, at moments gnarly stretches

but in normal conditions a trained biker can stay on his bike

at all times.

2: generally good rolling terrain, but regularly gnarly stretches.

Sometimes you have to push or carry your bike but this never is very long.

3: with long & tough stretches and/or longer pushing/carrying, depending on your skills and guts.

Keep in mind that the raids are rated in normal conditions, adverse or extreme weather conditions, or even a simple rain shower at the wrong moment can change the rating drastically...
