Treasure Valley Cycling Club

FYI

To Whom it May Concern at the Treasure Valley Cycling Club:

I am a PhD student at the University of Arizona conducting research on cycling and cycling tours. As part of my dissertation, I am developing a way to categorize the difficulty level of given paths based on their length and changes in elevation.

I am contacting the Treasure Valley Cycling Club because it would be extremely helpful and informative to have avid cyclists rate the level of difficulty of paths online, if you would be willing to give club members the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and understanding of path difficulty.

The paths can be found at the following URL: http://edu.surveygizmo.com/s3/649675/Bicycle-Tour-Route-Planning-Questio...

Please let me know if you would be willing to share the paths with your members. If you have questions about the research, please feel free to reach me by email or phone at (708) 305-3642.

Thank you for your consideration.
