COG Ride 27th March
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.

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 😉

Muckmedden Enduro Perth
Well done to both Ben and Russell for putting themselves through the tough Muckmedden Enduro. It looked like great fun from the photographs and I’m sure there will one or two stories from this great event in the Fiar City, Perth.
Ben had an altrication with a tree but both Ben and bike are fine – which is good 😉
And for the most important cyclists the Kids!
It was great to see so many kids whizzing around the kids course with 8 COG sprogs taking part. There was much to celebrate with Stu winning 4-7 year olds category and Alex coming in a close 3rd – Superb!
Results are on the Muckmedden website.

Highland Perthshire Challenge
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!

COG Ride 15th August
As planned we cycled up to Little Glenshee which ordinarly would have been a very pleasant and scenic cycle however as we arrived at Perth the weather took a turn for the worst and it rained on and off for the remainder of our ride. The climb into little Glenshee itself was enjoyable not to steep and much longer than some expected. We should definately visit again sometime perhaps part of a longer ride and hopefully when the weather is much better i.e. no rain!
Good turn out with 10 riders including a new member Ali who came with us until Perth. Nice meeting you and hope to see you out again with us.
‘Superb navigational skills from Pete 🙂 ‘
