Loop of the Carse last night with a good show of riders and the weather was great with only a little wind. A bit of an APR thrown in to the ride which is always good fun.

Good luck to all COG Velo who are taking part in the Three Pistes Sportive on 1st June 2014.
Looks like a tough course:
The route takes you past 3 ski centres, over the UK’s 2 highest roads, through some of the UK’s most remote countryside, ascending eight categorised climbs (4 of which have gradients of 20%) – and finishes by climbing the UK’s 4th highest road to Cairngorm Ski Centre.
The event has sold out but you can find out more information from their website.

Some of you mad Coggers are taking on the Fred Whitton Challenge, arguably one of the toughest sportives – Nutters!
There is still time if anyone would like to contribute to our club fundraising page. Thank you.
More information about the Fred Whitton Challenge
Good luck and hope you all come back safely. Also keep a watch on strava for when Russell and Pedro make a break for the KOM (30% incline).
I am praying for better weather than what the Met Office is predicting.

Well done to all who took part at the weekend, the photos look amazing – very scenic Inverness route. I heard the climb was a bit tougher than most people expected. Superb effort from the Crawfords, Steve 15th overall and Fran 5th overall in the ladies category.
Rest up and have a beer or glass of wine you have earned it.
