COG Ride 11th July

Great night for a ride it was warm (20 degrees!) with a little breeze perfect. Impressive numbers again with 12 riders out in spritly form, good sprints and hill climbing. We had a guest appearance from Gary who joined us for the ride – nice sprinting mate 😉 We took a different route last night with our guide for the evening Pete – every enjoyed the new route.

Dunkeld Dash 20th June

dunkeld-dash-photoDear COG member, This Thursday is the 3rd Thursday of June and COG Velo will be heading out on one its longer club rides. The plan is to go for a Dunkeld Dash, this is an 85km ride and will take 3+ hours. We will meet at 6.30pm prompt outside the hotel as usual aiming to get on the move as promptly possible. Most riders will want to be home before 10pm and as such the average speed will likely be a little higher than on most club rides around the Carse.

Please remember to bring a warm layer, lights and some fuel incase of any problems. A link to a map of the route can be found on the club website ‘club rides‘ page. If you prefer to ride a shorter route but still wish to come along at the start then it is easy enough to turn around at various points and do a shorter loop. If you plan to do this then please get back to me or use the website discussions page so others can see the options available.

Tour de Tay

Good turn out with 9 riders up for the Tour de Tay last night, with 2 new riders along for the ride (Nick & Jamie). Well done guys it certainly was not a slow pace last night hope you are not too sore today! Weather was a cold evening and the wind was at times unpleasant, however we battled through and had an enjoyable ride through Perthshire and Fife.
