GGCC Christmas Club Ride – 22 December 2013

20 Dec 2013

GGCC Club Ride – 22 December 2013 - Dumbarton Run - Christmas Leg Warmer.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ON YOU OR YOUR BIKE IS WELCOMED.

Due to the Weather forecast being poor for tomorrow we have decided to change the route for tomorrow to take in the safer option. As its the last run of the year we will make the ride more of a social ride. No paced groups and more of a easier run out.

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

A number of the members are heading along to Siempre Cafe after the run for some lunch. Everyone is more than welcome to come along. The attached route finishes at Siempre, however there will be riders heading back to the Green. 

Please remember to bring along a couple of quid for your coffee at McDonalds in Dumbarton. More importantly, place yourself strategically in the queue (7th,14th an 21st) as you may get a free coffee if your fellow members pass down their stamps! RESULT!!! Share the love folks. 

The group leaders will be identified prior to setting off in order that each 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 cold and wet. With the risk of snow over higher ground we have decided to stay of the hills. Be careful tomorrow on the run as the winds are to be gusty. Take take especially when moving between buildings as this is where the winds can catch you out.

We will split into groups based on 8- 10 riders. No real paced groups this week.

Everyone will take the same route so if you choose the wrong group, there will always be a group coming up that you can join.

**Please remember tubes, pump, levers, multitool and also please ensure your bike is in good working order, oiled, lubed, maintained and clean**
