Very well done everyone who took part in our huge Deeside loop, it was truely a great day out on the bikes. Weather was fab and scenery was equally stunning through Aberdeenshire and Perthshire.
A big thank you to Andrew’s family for the excellent lunch and hospitality. Of course the journey was not free from drama with multiple technical issues (exclusive to the committee!).

We will be setting of at 7am from Inchture Hotel please try to be there ontime for quick departure. The ride is estimated to take around 9-10 hours so with stops and lunch break, expect to be back around 6-7pm in the evening. It is a long ride but I’m sure it will be ‘EPIC!”
Be prepaired with clothes / food / spare tubes / tools and your mobile phone. Any questions please ask in the discussion forum.
The route has now been mapped and ready to download:

Carse of Gowrie Velo
Club Secretary
Sat 20th July and/or Sat 3rd August
150miles / 240km
Probably 2-3000m ascent
We are planning a monster Carse of Gowrie summer ride around the Deeside loop from Inchture, taking in Cairn O Mount and Glenshee.
This will be on Sat 20th July and/or Sat 3rd August, depending on who is available and around the time. If there’s a good few folk we would do both. By my reckoning its about 150miles / 240km!!! Probably 2-3000m ascent. You will need an all day pass…….
We’ll stick together for the rides but you would need to be potentially self supporting for 12 hours! There will be lunch +\- coffee stops.
Please discuss on the ‘discussion forum‘ of the COG website, in particular indicating which, if either, date you’d be keen on provisionally coming along.
Cheers Ben
