GGCC Club Ride details for Sunday 7th July - 'COFFEE N CAKES @ DALES'
North – Stepps, Kilsyth, Crow Road, Strathblane - 40 miles

This Sunday we plan to head north out through Stepps, onto Kilsyth, along to Crow Road, onto Strathblane and then into town and back to Dales Cycles for 'Coffee n Cakes'. 

Please meet under the McLennan Arch on the green for a 8:30am sharp start. 

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.

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)

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

Weather is to be around 14 - 16 degrees, dry, with a light south west breeze at 6mph.

We will split into STEADY, CHALLENGE and RACE pace.

Everyone will take the same route so if you choose the wrong group or get dropped from the Race or Challenge groups, 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.

**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
