GGCC Club Ride – 20th October 2013 - 'Up over Eaglesham and the A77' (48 miles) 

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.

Route for Sunday

Weather is to be around 10 degrees with some rain and winds of 13mph, 

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**
