The sandwich rating determines how hard or long a ride is. The more sandwiches that a ride has, the harder/longer it is.

For example the Mt Sumner track is an easy Grade 2, but will have a higher sandwich rating that that of Bottle Lake, as it is a much longer course, over rougher terrain.

Any ride involving Bossu Rd (by Little river), will also have a high sandwhich rating, as the initial climb up to Bossu Rd can take up to an hour of grind.
