Glasgow Green Cycle Club

THANK YOU CLUB RIDE details.

As a thank you to our members we would like to treat you to the coffees at the Windfarm on Eaglesham Moor. This is small thank you for all your hard work and support over the past couple of weeks with our road races.

Sunday 14th July - South Glasgow route – Eaglesham Moor and A77 (with optional Fenwick loop) – 48 miles

This Sunday we plan to head south towards Eaglesham Moor and then down to Fenwick and up the A77 before heading back into town.

Please meet at the McLennan Arch on the green for an 8:30am sharp start. 

The group leaders will be identified prior to setting off in order that each paced group runs as smoothly as possible.

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 15 degrees, Sunny with with 10 mph westerly winds. The route has been planned to have a tailwind on the end of the route.

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 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 'the team' @ GGCC
