GGCC Club Ride details for Sunday 14th April - South - 'Eaglesham and A77 chaingang' - 45 miles
This Sunday we plan to head south over Eaglesham Moor with a coffee stop at the Windfarm and then onto the A77. We may include the Fenwick loop for the race pace group.
We will then head back into town via Clarkston and Carmunnock.
Please meet under the McLennan Arch on the green for a 8:30am sharp start. As we are stopping at the Windfarm please bring enough money for your own coffee.
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.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE ROUTE PRIOR TO SUNDAYS RIDE.
Weather is to be around 8 degrees with some rain. 15 mph winds
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
