COG TDT 20th March

Fast boys were out for a good blast last night – no holding back. Pedro putting the hurt on Pedro-style. I’m sure everyone felt it! Weather started getting bad as we crossed the Tay road bridge on our way back to Inchture – very wet. Hope you made it back in one piece Nick 😉

Velodrome – Dundee Caird Park

We have an offer of using the Caird Park velodrome this Thursday evening – 19th at 18:00. They plan to open it to newcomers and seniors for the next couple of weeks.

Should be awesome fun, especially if there’s a good group of us. Will be weather dependent of course – riding on smooth Tarmac in tight formation in the rain isn’t too clever…..

PLEASE EMAIL BEN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME ALONG!

Will need to bring a road bike, although may use track bikes there depending on numbers. Track bikes have look Keo pedals.
There will still be a club ride starting at the hotel at usual 18:30 and I’ll start a discussion forum on the club website too.

Hope we can finally make it there this time!

COG Ride 6th June

cog-club-ride-6th-juneBig turn out last night 14 riders I believe, some opting for a TT in preperation for Dundee Thistle 10 mile TT on 11th June. The rest choosing a normal club ride which was probably just as demanding with 2 big climbs Glendoick and Rait. Weather was perfect with sunshine and slight wind, most enjoyable. Some new faces again well done guys, hope you enjoyed the ride.
