Carse of Gowrie Velo
A very strong performance from Carse of Gowrie at Etape Caledonia 2013 with many of our riders sub 4 hours. Our highest placed male rider was Russell and our highest placed female rider was Steph – congratulations to you both. It is a fantastic route from Pitlochry through scenic Perthshire, up over Schiehallion and arriving back in Pitlochry after covering 131Km (82 miles) and climbing 1300 metres.

Carse of Gowrie Velo
Epic performance from all COG Velo at the Etape Caledonia Pitlochry with 9 riders in the Top 100 and a couple of riders that did particularly well were Russell and Steph finishing the quickest from our Team. And those who lead the group from the front much Kudos! We were looking awesome in our new kit and the photographers took a keen interest as you can see from The Courier today front page and page 10.
Weather conditions were quite good with just the wind to deal with no rain and not too hot.
Thank you to our sponsors Miller Hendry and Medical & Dental Financial Planners.

Hope you are all ready for this Sunday Etape Caledonia 2013, trained to peak condition and bikes are all set to go. Had mixed reports on the weather for Pitlochry, I wouldn’t like to say for sure but the rain seems to be later in the day – so lets keep everything crossed. Early start time for most 6.30am make sure alarms are set nice and early.
Important: You need to take photographic id for registration. Safety pins is also a good idea for bib number.
(Friday 6pm-9pm | Sat 9am-8pm)
Good luck and enjoy the nice cycle around Perthshire!
