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

Strathpuffer 2014
Tremendous effort from all who took part in last weekends gruelling Strathpuffer 24 hour mountain bike race. Conditions were very good with only light showers and temperatures staying above freezing. Our camp was fully kitted out with everything we needed food/equipment/warmth/lights/flag which was a great help and made it easier to deal with the long hard MTB race.
Team Strath Carnage had lots of technical trouble in the beginning with punctures, snapped chain and busted brakes but then settled in and produced a very respectable 47th (26 laps) in the team category.
Team Old Coggers had no technical trouble which was unbelievably fortunate which allowed them to grind on at a very steady pace completing 32 laps and finishing 16th in the team category.
Superhuman Robbie is the undisputed animal of the weekend completing 28 laps and finishing 4th in the Solo category – very well done sir. Even with a busted wheel and snapped chain!
Team Old Coggers: Callum, Ben, Chris & Jay
Team Strath Carnage: Colin, Andy F, Andy R & Russell
And Solo Robbie Wilson also known as ‘one litre diesel‘

If you like no sleep, lots of mud, being cold, wet and bone shaking descents this is definately for you. Location Strath Peffer near Inverness, Scotland. Check out the Strathpuffer website!

St Andrews Sportive
Very well done to those who took part in the St. Andrew’s Sportive cycle at the weekend. Olly, Steph and Pete all crossed the line in great times. Pete should be commended for his double Sportive weekend for 3rd place on Saturday at the Highland Perthshire Challenege and then completing the St. Andrews Sportive on the Sunday in 10th place.
It was rather difficult to work out the true times as not everyone should which ride they took part in as there were 3 distances. But I believe Pete came 10th Olly 11th and Steph 12th – super impressive for the 65 mile loop!
Results and photographs can be found on the St Andrews Sportive website.
