Good Luck

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!
COG Velo
Epic ride through fife and sournding area which included some of the hardest and steepest climbs in our area. COG Velo was well represented on the day with both men and female riders from our club. Some fast times were registered. All in all a good training run for Etape Caledonia in Pitlochry in 2 weeks time.
