GGCC Spring 10 Mile Time Trial ,
Sunday 13th April 2014,
This
weekend, GGCC will hosts its first Time Trial Event of 2014. The start list is
attached.
Start List
If you have not entered already then there will be some spaces on the
day for those last minute entries. We already have 70 riders so please be
patient as you may need to be set off last.
We plan to head out towards the
south side of Glasgow to get to the meeting point of the Ivy India (Formerly
the Malletsheugh Inn) on the A77. This part of the ride is 10 miles.
Please meet under the McLennan Arch on the green for 8:30am.
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.
The group leaders will be identified
prior to setting off in order that each group runs as smoothly as possible on
the way to the A77.
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)
Forecast is to be 8 degress, 15mph wind from the west with a slight chance of
rain.

Please remember to bring your £3
which will be your entry fee for the day. Your entry fee includes your race
entry, associated insurances for the event as well as snacks and refreshments
at the event.
For those of you who will be heading
straight to the event and not to the green, there are plenty of car parking
spaces and areas to warm up.
Sign on for the event will be
from 9:00 am to 9:40 and will be held in the car park of the Ivy India. The
team from Dales will be supporting the event helping with sign on and
mechanical support. They have also kindly donated the goody bags for the
winners on the day. GGCC have also contributed to the prizes by offering a £10
gift voucher for all of the winners.
An event briefing will be held
in the car park of the Ivy India at 9:45. We ask that every rider is present
for the briefing. This is an important point of the morning as this will inform
you of all aspects of the start, course, conditions, finish area and post event
prize giving.
The first rider will be set off
at 10:01. The distance from the sign on area to the start line is one mile
exactly. Please allow up to 10 mins to get to the start time as you will not be
able to alter your time and may need to be allocated a later start time.
We would encourage all the
riders to stay for the full event and support the riders and prize winners.
Sunday is not a day for getting the miles in, its about getting involved and
supporting your club and fellow members.
The Ivy India will be open from
9:30 and will have teas, coffees and water available to those who have a later start
time. From 11 am, hot snacks will be available as well as hot drinks for all
the riders and support crew.
We are expecting the event to
finish for around 12:30 (just in time to head home to watch the Paris Robaix)
We look forward to seeing you
all on the morning of the event.
From all the team @ GGCC
