COG Ride 19th June

As it was our 3rd Thursday of the month we have a longer rider. We cycled over towards Dunkeld but took the Murthly turn before it to complete a figure of eight back to Inchture. Going through Meikleour and Murthly back to Balbeggie then Inchture.

Big numbers out again which is great to see. Weather was perfect although did get a bit colder later in the ride. Fast going to, with a major hurt on between Lynton – Kinclaven from the big guns Jamie, Pedro, Brian and Co.

COG Ride 27th March

Enjoyable loop to Perth and back to Inchture taking in some nice climbs – Glencarse, Kinnoull, Rait and Kinnaird. The wind was a bit rubbish on our return but we had some strong legs on the front Pedro and Nick – nice work chaps.

COG Ride 6th March

Short ride last night because the weather started out rather wet and it was Pedro’s birthday (pub was beconing).

Happy birthday Pedro!

Nearly lost an Olly last night who was flying so fast down the tullybaccart decent he flew past the Collace junction luckily Kieran pulled him back – nice work Kieran.

Descending from North Ballo down through Abernyte was a bit scary with the thick fog – no injuries though and everyone made it safely to the pub for Pedro’s Birthday Pints 🙂
