Pete: So race report goes something like this.

First event of the new road season, this was the inaugural (of hopefully many) COTCs. The team at the Stirling bike club put on a top class event, with a great course on the closed roads and car parks of Stirling Uni. Events from junior up to elite. Stars such as Davie Lines, Katie Archibald (world gold medallist last month!), rubbed shoulders with some of the COG elite (well that is how Pedro referred too himself until today ;-)).
In the youth race, COG Youth “did great” – Ben Fettes and Alfie George Finished in the top 5, Alfie riding away with the older age group to take the win!
In the cat 4’s, due to the large number of entries there were two races. Paul Fettes rode a storming race to finish 14th, Luis from the ABC was second. Paul was in the thick of it, leading for a couple of laps, and the first race was the fastest of the two cat 4s.
In the second race, Pedro Petrie started really strong, leading the first lap. Had it not had been for the cheering for some of the other fancied competitors (McComisky), he would have heard the bell and been on for the sprint. That, and the fact that no one notice that two had been away on the break for the entire race, meant that places could have been higher Pedro was a creditable 15th, I held on after a suicidal attempt at a break, for 19th.
In the womans race, world champion Katie Archibald won, with Thistle’s Beckie Nixon was an awesome 4th.
In the big race it was a fight out by the elite riders, with McCallum, Oliphant and Lines taking the top places. A nasty crash saw one of the St Andrews riders leave with a broken hand, the racing was hard!
