Well done Ali and Ken for flying the flag of Carse of Gowrie Velo (COG). Weather was not very pleasant for you guys with strong wind, rain and I believe some roads were flooded also. Major kudos to you both for completing the ride in these terrible conditions around Peebles.
Find out more information on the Tour O’ the Borders website. Results can be found here.

Carse of Gowrie Velo are heading to Fife this Saturday if anyone is interested… you are more than welcome. We will be meeting at the car park on the Fife side of the tay bridge at 9am. See our planned route below, it should be around 70 miles not huge climbs more like rolling hills and a steady pace.

Paul and his som Ben had an awesome time cycling at Sir Chris Hoy Veledrome glasgow.
Crazy trio of Ben, David and Chris – on a very cold and windy ride Tay loop (tour de Tay) clockwise. Wind in our faces most of the journey and icy roads to contend with on higher ground – not ideal for road bikes! David can vouch for this as he planted into the snow just past Gauldry, he is ok though.
