IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement
You MUST complete a Participation Statement, in addition to booking your event space before attending an OutdoorLads event. You only need to complete this Participation Statement once, not for each event you attend.
Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, even if they are extremely mild, or who has recently tested positive for Covid-19, is asked not to attend.
Photos were taken by myself.
What to bring
Bike: Suitable for most bikes. The Clyde cycle path changes between tarmac/gravel/blaze. This is by no means a trail/gravel event, it just has the typical changes in surfaces you would expect in a city. You must have front and rear lights.
