GGCC Club Ride – 22nd September 2013 - 'Up over Eaglesham and the A77' (48 miles)
As last weeks run was changed due to the weather we would like to give the moor another shot as the café will be closing in a few weeks for the winter.
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). We have a couple of spare first aid packs we will bring along to hand out to those of you who are first aid trained and are happy to carry a pack.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE ROUTE PRIOR TO SUNDAYS RIDE.

Weather is to be 15 degrees, with little chance of rain and winds of 15 mph.
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**
