Scottish Cyclo-Cross Series started at the weekend with Auchentoshan, Clydebank the first on the calendar and a very technical course. We had 2 riders flying the flag for COG Velo Pete and Ali. They both thourghly enjoyed themselves and would recommend to anyone who likes its dirty 😉
So it was the first Cycl0-Cross event for both riders and for the club – well done guys and of course our good friend Barry who finished 13th in his age group (show off!).
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!

It has been confirmed that Kirkcaldy will again stage the opening round of the Tour Series as 10 top British teams begin their five-week battle on May 14 to be crowned champions of the series, which sees teams go head to head for victory.
We should make an effort to go and watch this stage!
