GGCC Club Ride details for Sunday 17th March – Incorporating the GGCC Spring Hill Climb
Meeting at the McLennan Arch on Glasgow Green for 8:30am.
This Sunday we plan to head north and head towards Torrance and then to Lennoxtown before the start of the Hill Climb Event.
We will go through some basic safety tips, group riding etiquette and group riding technique plus cover off first aiders 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.
Club Run details
Weather is to be cold though hopefully staying dry with very little wind.
There are no paced groups on the run this weekend. The plan is to all stick together on the way out in groups of 10-12.
For those riders taking part in the Hill Climb, If you have a BC licence can you bring this with you. We will have sign on at the foot of the Crow Road. Debbie and Kerri will be sorting out the sign on process, handing over your race number (yes brand new shiny GGCC/Dales Cycles race numbers) and informing you of your individual start time.
We will also have the Dales Support van with Jim on hand to help with any tweaks you need to make before the Hill Climb.
Mike Bishop will also be at the event to take some photos of the riders as they tackle the Crow Road.
You can’t get better support than this!!!
For those of you not taking part in the event, we would like you to help with supporting the event in either being a marshal or providing support to the riders on the course. We will have the club hi-viz vests for you to wear if you are helping out.
After the event we will all go to the Kirkhouse Inn for drinks and the prize giving.
Please bring along £1 (yes £1 for your drinks this week and don’t expect a free roll and sausage!!! Lol) We have agreed a reduced rate due to here being around 50 folk at the Kirkhouse Inn this weekend based on it being a club event. They will only be providing jugs of tea and coffee.
**Please remember tubes, pump, levers, multi-tool and also please ensure your bike is in good working order, oiled, lubed, maintained and clean**
See you all on Sunday
From all the team @GGCC
