GGCC Club Ride details for Sunday 10th March - North to Torrance, Strathblane, Kilsyth and back into Glasgow- 45 miles
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE WILL BE OUR DEFAULT WINTER ROUTE TO DUMBARTON AND BACK IF WE FEEL THE ORIGINAL ROUTE IS NOT SUITABLE
**PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON FACEBOOK/WEBSITE AND TWITTER FOR RIDE UPDATES!
This Sunday we plan to head north and head towards Torrance then over to Kilsyth for a coffee stop at the Boathouse.
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 group riding technique and first aid before we set off so that everyone stays safe and knows exactly what’s happening on the ride.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE ROUTE PRIOR TO SUNDAYS RIDE.
Weather is to be VERY COLD with a chance of ice.
We will split into STEADY, CHALLENGE and potentially RACE pace if the numbers and weather allow it.
Everyone will take the same route so if you choose the wrong group or get dropped from Challenge, 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 20+mph
Pick you group carefully and remember that steady is the only group that holds back and does not drop anyone. **WE MAY SPLIT INTO 2 OR 3 STEADY GROUPS AND 2 CHALLENGE GROUPS DEPENDING ON NUMBERS**
**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.
From all the team @ GGCC
