Loop of the Carse last night with a good show of riders and the weather was great with only a little wind. A bit of an APR thrown in to the ride which is always good fun.

Enjoyable loop to Perth and back to Inchture taking in some nice climbs – Glencarse, Kinnoull, Rait and Kinnaird. The wind was a bit rubbish on our return but we had some strong legs on the front Pedro and Nick – nice work chaps.

The COG trio (Pete,Pedro & Steve) opted for a leisurely spin around the Tay, well leisurely for Pedro at pace for most other people 😉 Well done guys good miles for this time of year and considering it was snowing the day before in Perth.

Looks like the wonderful weather is finally coming to an end… Very wet and windy Cog ride numbers slightly dwindled with 6 strong battling the elements. Also a new rider joining us – welcome Frances nice having you along.

Good loop last night and turned out to be a cracking ride and hopefully everyone got home before the darkness. Seemed like a bit of confusion coming down Knapp the group split in half. Again a big turn out of 10 riders with 1 new face, hope to see you all out again.

Reverse of our usual loop up 2 hills and back from Glencarse through Errol and to finish at Inchture. First hill was Rait and long and punishing climb followed by Kilspindie which is always fun – in a painful way 😉 The wind was never to far away last night, top effort from all and Pete looking good on the hills.

Good luck to all who are taking part in the Highland Perthshire Challenge on Saturday. Most are riding the shorter route 50 miles however some are tackling the 100 miles – tough nuts! As it is a very local Sportive close to Carse of Gowrie, finishing at Perth Airport the plan is to ride back to Glencarse Highland Games for beers. Find out more from their facebook page.
Anyone wishing to take part or for route information visit: Highland Perthshire Challenge website.
Ride hard and have fun!

As its now August many of you will be looking ahead at other Sportives and our local Highland Perthshire Challenge is taking place on Saturday 24th August 2013. There is a choice of 50 miles or 100 miles, great scenery through perthshire, and its right on our doorstep.
A few Cog folk have already signed up and it would be good to have a big turn out from Carse of Gowrie Velo. And the plan after the event is to go to Rait beer festival (not sure if its on?) or Glencarse Highland Games which is on the same day.
It may be out for some if you are riding Skye Sportive on the same day or the St. Andrews Sportive on the Sunday 25th August.
Find out more from Highland Perthshire Challenge website.
Hope to see you there.
