GGCC Club ride - Sunday 16 December

13 Dec 2012

Sunday 16th December GGCC Club Run - North to Kilsyth, Strathblane and back through Milngavie - 40 miles

This Sunday we will head north and head towards Kilsyth then over to Strathblane for a coffee stop at the Kirkhouse Inn

Please meet under the McLennan Arch on the green for a 8:30am sharp start and remember your £2 for the coffee stop.

We will go through some basic safety tips, group riding etiquette and first aid before we set off so that everyone stays safe and knows exactly whats happening on the ride. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE ROUTE PRIOR TO SUNDAYS RIDE.

Weather is to be around 7 degrees (feels like 5 degrees), overcast but dry with a 20% chance of rain, with a very light breeze - southerly about 9mph 

We will split into STEADY, CHALLENGE and RACE PACE depending on the number of members on the ride and demand.

Everyone will take the same route so if you choose the wrong group or get dropped from Challenge or Race Pace there will always be a group coming up that you can join. 

An idea of the pace each group should ride @ are - 

Steady IS steady at about 14 -16mph
Challenge should stretch you at around 18mph - 20mph
Race Pace is around 20 - 24mph

Pick you group carefully and remember that steady is the only group that holds back and does not drop anyone. 

**Please remember tubes, pump, levers, multitool and also please ensure your bike is in good working order, oiled, lubed, maintained and clean**

See you all Sunday. Cheers
