GGCC Spring 10 Mile Time Trial , Sunday 19th April 2015
This weekend, GGCC will hosts its first Time Trial Event of 2015.
For the start list please goto the Events page on the GGCC Facebook page. You will also find a full events programme there.
If you have not entered already then there will be some spaces on the day for those last minute entries. We already have nearly 40 riders but spaces in teh start sheet for last minute entries.
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 6 degress, 7mph wind from the north east gusting to 15mph with only a 10% 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 after 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.
A full breakdown of the prize categories is on the events page and programme.
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.
We look forward to seeing you all on the morning of the event.
From all the team @ GGCC
