Turned out to be a great night with a touch of star gazing – Aurora Borealis. Big numbers and not to cold either which was perfect. Slight deviation from planned route due to a traffic accident at St. Madoes. Also 2 punctures didn’t help the return leg but seeing the Northern Lights did make up for it. 🙂
Good night for the COG thursday night club ride not to cold. The wind did pick up as we were heading back to Inchture but that was the least of our worries. Chris had a troublesome night which really we should have repaired the puncture straight away – hindsight is a wonderful thing. 3 stops to inflate a tyre is not much fun – sorry guys. Oh and the police closed the Muirhead to Auchterhouse road so we had a diversion through Dronely – Birkhill.
Pleasant clear night with a bit of wind, great thrusday night club ride. The steady pace from Pedro and Chris ensured no one was cold. 6 riders out last night.
COG club ride with 6 strong slightly hindered by some deer crossing while travelling at speed was a bit scary. Poor Fran had a little fall – but she is fine which good news. The ride started from Inchture up to Coupar Angus then returning via Newtyle and finishing at Inchture Hotel.
Road riders rode up Rait to Balbeggie then Collace down Abernyte and returning to Inchture.
Off-road riders had some fun up and around Kinnoull Hill and Deuchny Woods.
Weather was cold but not to wet or icy which was good.
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!
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 Ben
But 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!
