The Craig Dymock Memorial Club Confined Time Trial in association with GGCC

Sunday 28th April  2019

This weekend, GGCC will hosts its first Time Trial Event of 2019, The Craig Dymock Memorial Time Trial

This is the 2nd club confined event of 2019 in our Club Championship competition


For the full event programme, please goto the Events page on the GGCC Facebook page. We will be putting together the start sheet at 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.

As a mark of respect, we will be starting at 10:02 and allocating 10:01 to Craig in his memory.

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 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 route 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 7 - 10 degress, 6mph wind from the W gusting to 12 mph with only a 10% chance of rain.

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 10:02 or IF we run over then 10.16. 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 10.45 am, refreshments and snacks will be available. 

We are expecting the event to finish for around 12.00 - 12:30.

We look forward to seeing you all on the morning of the event.
