kinda funny, i think i have intermediate riding skills, with the fitness of a sloth.
not sure what i base it on. how long people have to wait for me ??
so how do you know ? what are you into? tech? railing turns? climbing like a goat?
can you keep up with "better" riders in some? is it the portfolio of skills?
got no answers - only questions.

Yep, lock it up. 80 to 100% bling or spandex is pro, 50 to 80 intermediate and less beginner.

You are reading my mind, I was going to post something similar.
In wanting to organize or attend more group rides I question how to relate to others in terms of level.
I will pull off a good move and think "wow that was an expert move" but then a climb comes up with a 2 inch branch across the trail and I think "I suck, still a beginner"
@fidodie brings up a good point about fitness level too. maybe I cant keep up with faster riders, so does that mean I am a beginner?
My skill (and even fitness) level seems to change by the day/mood I am in too.
maybe rides should be organized by age and weight? 😉

Yeah that's nice.. but how fast can he get up Da Destroyer Climb?.. also that's not a fat bike so does it really matter?

It's all relative, an intermediate at allaire or six mile will be a beginner at chimney Rock until they get used to hills and rocks. I think intermediate implies you can sustain a steady pace and ride most of the terrain at a given park. Advanced is something I'll never be so I have no answers!

I thought it was how loud your hub was?
