Well done to all who took part at the weekend, the photos look amazing – very scenic Inverness route. I heard the climb was a bit tougher than most people expected. Superb effort from the Crawfords, Steve 15th overall and Fran 5th overall in the ladies category.
Rest up and have a beer or glass of wine you have earned it.

Crit on Campus Results
Pete: So race report goes something like this.
First event of the new road season, this was the inaugural (of hopefully many) COTCs. The team at the Stirling bike club put on a top class event, with a great course on the closed roads and car parks of Stirling Uni. Events from junior up to elite. Stars such as Davie Lines, Katie Archibald (world gold medallist last month!), rubbed shoulders with some of the COG elite (well that is how Pedro referred too himself until today ;-)).
In the youth race, COG Youth “did great” – Ben Fettes and Alfie George Finished in the top 5, Alfie riding away with the older age group to take the win!
In the cat 4’s, due to the large number of entries there were two races. Paul Fettes rode a storming race to finish 14th, Luis from the ABC was second. Paul was in the thick of it, leading for a couple of laps, and the first race was the fastest of the two cat 4s.
In the second race, Pedro Petrie started really strong, leading the first lap. Had it not had been for the cheering for some of the other fancied competitors (McComisky), he would have heard the bell and been on for the sprint. That, and the fact that no one notice that two had been away on the break for the entire race, meant that places could have been higher Pedro was a creditable 15th, I held on after a suicidal attempt at a break, for 19th.
In the womans race, world champion Katie Archibald won, with Thistle’s Beckie Nixon was an awesome 4th.
In the big race it was a fight out by the elite riders, with McCallum, Oliphant and Lines taking the top places. A nasty crash saw one of the St Andrews riders leave with a broken hand, the racing was hard!
Good day out for the Coggers, promising for the season ahead.
Lots of photos on their facebook page and flickr and the professional shots from ImacImages

A big ‘Thank You’ must go to our hosts Ben and Jen, for allowing everyong to take over their house and garden for the day – it was fantastic!
Kids and adults had a brilliant time. Games for the kids were awesome – hope you find your bean bag from the field when Callum over shot the garden hedge 😉
COG max power challenge was a huge hit with all – not quite sure who won the overall categories?
Until the next one!
