Rating Scheme Explained

More about the rating scheme.  I believe most riders fall within the bell curve as they say, we are all various levels of Intermediate in some form or another.  On either side of the bell curve you have your expert riders who have not only logged miles, maybe have raced or ridden in all sort of conditions for years if not decades.  We don't worry too much about the expert rider being able to handle most conditions.  Many of the routes I consider expert have yet to be mapped and are more hardcore off road, single track stuff.

What we are concerned with are the beginner riders on the other side of the curve.  When I think of a true beginner I think of someone who just graduated their MSF course and have owned a motorcycle for maybe a month.  These are the riders I think about when I rate roads, riders who are extremely prone to panic and target fixation, or locking up the brakes.  When I think about roads with decreasing radius turns, off camber turns, dirt / rock and bad pavement, or even extreme shelf roads these are the type that I personally would avoid bringing a beginner rider on.  I've seen it when they ride these roads, they lock up, go 20 mph under the speed limit and are absolutely terrified (sometimes they wreck).  I realize this rating scheme is purely subjective but it is consistent across all routes.
