Cold and wet Cog ride last night, brave guys last night, Rule #5 was definately in play. And for those who weren’t out one word slackers! Jamie and Nick opted for more rain and pain than others with an extra loop – well done chaps.

Well done to the brave 3 who took up the challenge on Saturday to race in the Dundee and District Hill Climb. A little cycle up Abernyte as fast as you can muster – definately more fun coming down!
Russell taking 3rd place Pedro 13th and Olly 16th – Superb effort gents!
Results are on British Cycling website.

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.

Good loop last night and turned out to be a cracking ride and hopefully everyone got home before the darkness. Seemed like a bit of confusion coming down Knapp the group split in half. Again a big turn out of 10 riders with 1 new face, hope to see you all out again.

As planned we cycled up to Little Glenshee which ordinarly would have been a very pleasant and scenic cycle however as we arrived at Perth the weather took a turn for the worst and it rained on and off for the remainder of our ride. The climb into little Glenshee itself was enjoyable not to steep and much longer than some expected. We should definately visit again sometime perhaps part of a longer ride and hopefully when the weather is much better i.e. no rain!
Good turn out with 10 riders including a new member Ali who came with us until Perth. Nice meeting you and hope to see you out again with us.

The plan for tonight is to ride Little Glenshee near Creiff. Weather looks dull and windy, hopefully the rain will stay away.

Great night for a ride it was warm (20 degrees!) with a little breeze perfect. Impressive numbers again with 12 riders out in spritly form, good sprints and hill climbing. We had a guest appearance from Gary who joined us for the ride – nice sprinting mate 😉 We took a different route last night with our guide for the evening Pete – every enjoyed the new route.

Well done Pete, Steph and Pedro.
6 keen COG cyclists out for a little spin before the Etape Calendonia on Sunday. Our ride was through Longforgan up to Fowlis loop back down then up Jock’s Brea and down Abernyte to finish at Inchture. Weather was ok not windy and only some rain but the roads were very muddy! Nice easy pace.
