GGCC Club Ride Details - Wednesday 8th October - 'East Kilbride Roundabout Rodeo' - 25 Miles.

Greenlees Road as the warm up and then onto East Kilbride. We will the work on some group rotation and chain-gang up and down The Queensway before heading back via Castlemilk.

Andy cant ride due to injury and Ray is at track league this week so can we ask that the group leaders step up and arrange the groups and take care of any new riders. We will collect forms off any new riders if someone can arrange to get them filled in from new riders please. 

We ask that all our riders use front and rear lights during our darker evening rides. In addition to this, we also ask riders to fit mud guards to their bikes in poor weather conditions. (Not a GGCC rule but a GGCC recommendation)

After the climb into East Kilbride, everyone will pull into the car park of the Carphone Warehouse/Brewers Fayre. This will allow all the paced groups to be agreed and the group leaders to have a quick 30sec run through of the format of the ride. This will also help as it takes us off the main roads whilst we sort this part of the ride.

The idea is for cheeky challenge to turn left at the Technology Park and head up to the roundabout just past Calderglen Country Park. The other groups will turn right as per usual.

Meet at 6.45pm for a 7pm sharp start at the McDonalds at the end of London Road near the junction of the M74.

We will go through some basic safety tips and group riding etiquette before we set off so that everyone stays safe and knows exactly what happens on the ride.

If you have been given a first aid pack or have your own, can you bring this with you on club runs?

Weather is to be around 12 degree, cloudy with a chance of light rain, with a 8 mph E wind.  

We will split at agreed points into Steady, Challenge and Cheeky Challenge 

Steady is steady and usually sit between 14 – 16 mph average.
Challenge should push your ability and sits about 16 - 18 mph average.
Cheeky Challenge is slightly faster and is around 18 - 20 mph average

Please pick your 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 **
