Eventful race in the sand at Irvine Beach today. I finished 52nd, but a last lap crash meant I had to run the last 700m (I knew that running practice would come in handy eventually!), which cost me at least a dozen places. Broken brake lever, rear mech & punctured tub.
Not so good. We hope you get your bike sorted for your next race mate.
Race report and results are on the Scottish Cyclocross website.

Another night where we had road (8 bodies) and off-road (5 bodies) action. Road loop was up Knapp to Tullybaccart then back round to Abernyte and finishing at Inchture. Off-road was up and down Kinnoull hill in the darkness – great fun! Weather was very cold but good turn out all the same for both. I must say the Moon was awesome!

It was brutal course with lots of crashes & mechanicals (but not for me!). Very tough course a mixture of hardcore gravel, mud & forest trails.

The 2nd COG Cross Country Christmas Caper will be held on Sunday 16th December.Meeting point will be the car park in inchture at 9.30am.
This year will be a bit less committing than last year but will be run as an ‘enduro‘ with 5 sections and transitions in between where we will all ride together…
There will be prizes for the fastest on each section and fastest aggregate time for them all. The emphasis will be on fun with special kudos reserved for anyone with Christmas pimping of their bike or person. You will need some sort of off road machine but nothing will be too technical or challenging.
If you need more info then just get in touch Lastly – if your not using the Facebook cog velo notice board then you’re missing out on lots of chat and useful information about cycling in the carse and other stuff (well not much other stuff). It’s where it’s at and is for cog members only!!!

Well done for Ali’s unstoppable appetite for cyclocross this time he was in Inverness at Knockburn Loch. He faced a very tough course featuring lots of singletrack climbing, with very steep run up and slippery slopes of the Loch, and circling the bridge.

Full of highs and lows last night. Good turn out for a rather wet and horrible evening. Unfortunately Chris and Russell both had punctures last night at Abernyte.
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday BenBut on the plus side we had a fantastic time at Ben’s Birthday / Halloween Party. Jen made a super chilli and the beers were gratefully received, thank you for the hospitality.
The Birthday cake especially made by Kirsty was awesome!
