Kirsty, Claire, Jen, Arlene and Emma did the Grantown on Spey try tri last weekend (09/09/2012) and scored a great success. All set pb’s and Kirsty and Emma (sisters) were 1st and 3rd in category. A first win for COG Velo!
All were in the top ten – great effort girls. Group photo!
Turned out to be a good route with a few tough climbs too! Weather was fine apart from the cuffing wind which got worse as the day progressed and was constantly in our faces going up Tomintoul over Lecht road.
The highlight of the day was a chance meeting with Billy Connolly in Ballater – see photos.
I’m sure you have all read the email by now weather will be very wet and 50-70 mph winds. Hands on events havea suggested still come as planned, however they may cancel the event completely if the weather is too bad!
Bealach is the UK’s biggest road climb at 2053ft (626m) from sea level in just 6mls (10k). It is set in a fabulous unspoilt landscape with outstanding views of the sea and the hills. The Applecross Peninsula is renowned as a gem in Scotland’s crown of natural wonders.
A huge congratulations to Paul Fettes, John Smith, Kirstin Carrol and Mark McIntosh who took part in this years IRONMAN Austria. Not only that Paul set an impressive time too! That will be all the cycle training 😉 with COG!
