John Muir winter carnival cyclo cross

Looked like a great day for it at Fox Lake for the John Muir Winter Carnival CycloCross Race. Although pictures show it was very muddy and a tough one. Best COG result of the weekend was Ben Fettes came in an awesome 2nd in the first race of the day!

Photos posted on our Facebook Discussion Group and the offical photos can be found here and on Flickr.

 

Well done chaps!

Lochore Meadows – Kinross Cyclocross

Big turn out for COG Velo yesterday at Lochore Meadows Kinross Cyclocross.

A few words from Pete.
Glorious day in Ballingry. Cold but wall to wall sunshine kept the spirits and spectators warm. COG riders in almost every race (counting COG Kids), and our fair share of bad luck. the land is pan flat, but they carved out a tough course, and some impressive mud. Lots of hurdles meant there was nowhere to hide if you can’t jump mount (I can’t!), and the crowd enjoyed some unorthodox mounting in “the arena”. The spiral of doom was endless, and I suspect there are still people riding in circles somewhere near the loch.
Bad luck to Kirsty (flat), Paul F (Flat), Pedro suffered a trashed bike – oouch thats gonna hurt your pocket (at least Christmas is coming up…)

Russell rocked to highest placed male at 18th, thought I was just behind, still 2 mins on the track. Paul F still managed 27th even with a pit stop. Kirsty was 10th in the ladies.
Good day out!

Well done to Anna, who achieved a podium spot for sprog velo.

CX-tastic!

Irvine Beach Park Cyclocross

A few words from our CX hard man!

Eventful race in the sand at Irvine Beach today. I finished 52nd, but a last lap crash meant I had to run the last 700m (I knew that running practice would come in handy eventually!), which cost me at least a dozen places. Broken brake lever, rear mech & punctured tub.

Not so good. We hope you get your bike sorted for your next race mate.

Race report and results are on the Scottish Cyclocross website.

Clydebank Cyclo-Cross

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!).
