GCC 300 | Sunday July 21, 2024 5:00AM

THIS IS A VERY LONG DISTANCE RIDE. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING IN DETAIL

Lunch and Coffee stops are available on route.

This will be the finale to the GCC randonneuring events for 2024, a 300km ride on July 21! You must have completed one of the previous 200km events, or completed a 200km on your own this year. If you don’t meet this requirement but are still interested, contact me and we can discuss.

We’ll be starting at The Boathouse, so there will NOT be a pre-ride bag drop. The group will leave at 5AM sharp, so it is recommended you arrive by 4:45am to get your gear in order. Bring money for coffee and lunch stops, bonking on this ride will not be a fun time. Tail lights are mandatory to be running until 7am, but really you should run them the whole time.

Food is paramount when riding distances like this. Do not skip out on an opportunity to eat at one of the stops, you will have a much nicer time if you are well fueled.

Please review the course and prepare accordingly. There are a few busy roads that we will be on for short periods (ride single file). There will also be some mild gravel sections to avoid the busiest roads.

Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.

All rides need a minimum of 3 members signed up in order to officially run. If a ride has the required number of riders, but no Group Captain riding with them, that group ride will be considered cancelled. The group can decide among themselves to hold an ‘unofficial’ ride and follow the route. All group riders take it upon themselves to know the route and are responsible for their own safety.
