The GGCC Summertime Club Confined Time Trial - Sunday 17th
June 2018
This weekend, GGCC will hosts its second event of the 2018
Club Championship season – the Summer Time Trial.
For the full event programme, please goto the Events page on the GGCC
Facebook page.
We will be putting together the start sheet at point of sign
on so please provide name and DOB to Andy once signed on with Wee Dobbo. If you
want a specific time then please advise at sign on.
If you have not entered already then please click on the invite
asap, there will be spaces on the day for those last minute entries. We already
have nearly 50 riders.
We plan to head out towards the south side of Glasgow to get
to the meeting point of The Fairweather Hall, Barrhead Road, Newton Mearns, G77
6BB, this part of the ride is approximately 9 miles.
**The Hall is at the last junction before you turn left up
towards the Ivy so please take the usual routs as if you are heading on a south
side ride from the Green.
Please meet under the McLennan Arch on the green for 8:30am.
We will go through some basic safety, group riding etiquette
and group riding technique, first aid and basic bike maintenance before we set
off so that everyone stays safe and knows exactly what’s happening on the ride.
The group leaders will be identified prior to setting off in
order that each group runs as smoothly as possible on the way to the A77.
For those of you who are first aid trained and have been issued first aid pack,
can you please bring these along on Sunday (and each run you attend)
Forecast (at the moment) is to be 13 – 15 degress, 9mph wind from the SW
gusting to 21mph with only a 10% chance of rain. A tail wind for your return
leg!

A full breakdown of the prize categories is on the events
page and programme.
An event briefing will be held in the main hall of
Fairweather Hall 9.45. We ask that every rider is present for the
briefing. This is an important point of the morning as this will inform you of
all aspects of the start, course, conditions, finish area and post event prize
giving.
The first rider will be set off at 10:01 or IF we run over
then 10.15. The distance from the sign on area to the start line is two
(2) mile exactly. Please allow up to 15 mins to get to the start time as
you will not be able to alter your time and may need to be allocated a later
start time.
We would encourage all the riders to stay for the full event
and support the riders and prize winners. Sunday is not a day for getting the
miles in, its about getting involved and supporting your club and fellow
members.
The Fairweather Hall will be open from 9:00 and will
changing facilities and a kitchen with facilities. From approximately
11.30 am, refreshments and snacks will be available.
We are expecting the event to finish for around 12:00
