Common Terms used to describe a ride :

B Team - no drop ride (with stops to re-group/rest if necessary).

B- or C+ - beginner ride, no drop, lots of encouragement.

Moderate pace - more serious ride averaging 17-19mph, we might wait for you on hills depending how far back you are.

Smooth ride - No sprinting, no stopping, no waiting.

YOYO (You're On Your Own) - what it says.

Self Supported - not exactly a YOYO ride, but it's a good idea to bring a cell phone, money for store stops, stuff for at least one flat tire, and know how to pace yourself so you don't bonk.
