Clydebank Cyclo-Cross

Scottish Cyclo-Cross Series started at the weekend with Auchentoshan, Clydebank the first on the calendar and a very technical course. We had 2 riders flying the flag for COG Velo Pete and Ali. They both thourghly enjoyed themselves and would recommend to anyone who likes its dirty 😉

So it was the first Cycl0-Cross event for both riders and for the club – well done guys and of course our good friend Barry who finished 13th in his age group (show off!).

COG Ride 19th Sept

Well our longer ride to Dunning was discounted and we opted to do a loop from Inchture to Newtyle and return to Inchture. Weather was fine considering it rained all day, but the roads were very slippy. It did get dark around 8pm so lights are essential from now on.

‘It seems we are going through a nasty patch of incidents lately with another punture!’

COG Ride 13th Sept

2 damaged bikes and 1 damaged person (Pedro – speedy recovery mate)!

Very eventful COG ride last night. Russell front wheel damaged when his battery pack fell on it – hopefully not to bad.

Pedro came a croper in the dark while heading back home. He wiped out at some road works just after Inchture junction! Hit a 3 inch drop in the tarmac and next thing the bike is side ways and he is sliding along the ground at 20mph+. Result is some road rash, holy bibs and a bent rear derailleur hanger. Punctured front tyre and torn bar tape.

Other than all of that it was a good ride in the wet and dark.
