Kinross Sportive

Epic ride through fife and sournding area which included some of the hardest and steepest climbs in our area. COG Velo was well represented on the day with both men and female riders from our club. Some fast times were registered. All in all a good training run for Etape Caledonia in Pitlochry in 2 weeks time.

COG Ride 25th April

Another big turn out last night a total of 10 bodies. Well it was a bit of a disaster with a total of 5 punctures – Poor Steph had 2! The ever present wind was also their to annoy us and while we waited on punctures to be fixed the temperature decided to fall – not nice brrr! At least we all made it back home safely. Couple of big climbs Glendoick & Kilspindie and some fast decending.

COG Ride 18th April

Great turn out for thursday’s club ride, one of our biggest so far 11 bodies. The route took us up to Murthly – Meiklour then a Figure of 8 and back to Inchture Hotel. A few KOM’s on the way nice one Brian and the mandatory sprint to the 30mph signs which I think Ben was our points winner for the evening.

COG Ride 11th April

Great turn out last night of 8 riders, Chris, Jay, Brian, Russell, Ali, Pete, Steph and Nick. We opted for a blast along to St Madoes and up Glen Carse and Kilspindie so it was a good session.Colder on the higher ground and longer nights so more daylight – bonus! A few competitive sprints for the 30 sign – which was good.
