GGCC Club Ride details for Sunday 2nd March - COFFEE N CAKES @ Dales Cycles 

North 48 miles

This week its time to enjoy the cakes at Dales so we will head out towards Stepps, Kilsyth, Lennoxtown, Strathblane, Milngavie, Torrance and back in by the prison into town to finish at Dales. 

You can download the route @ http://connect.garmin.com/course/5418590

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

Can you all bring along a couple of quid for your coffee donation and you can pay this when you get your tea and cakes in Dales!

Could the ride leaders please all chip in where we can and make sure the run goes as smoothly as possible?

The group leaders should gather their respective groups together before we set off from the green to run through what pace, rotations etc they will be doing?
If any new riders come along, can folk buddy up where 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)

Weather is to be around cloudy but dry, around 3 degrees, with a south easterly wind of 13mph gusting to 28mph.

We will split into STEADY, CHALLENGE, CHEEKY CHALLENGE and RACE PACE groups. 

Everyone can take the same route so if you choose the wrong group or get dropped from the Challenge groups, there will always be a group coming up that you can join.

An exception is if the steady group want to ride back from Strathblane via Balmore Road which will hopefully get you back at the same time as the other groups.

An idea of the pace each group should ride @ are -

Steady IS steady at about 14 -15mph
Challenge should stretch you at around 15mph - 17mph
Cheeky Challenge is 17 - 19mph
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
