Highland Perthshire Challenge & Beer

As its now August many of you will be looking ahead at other Sportives and our local Highland Perthshire Challenge is taking place on Saturday 24th August 2013. There is a choice of 50 miles or 100 miles, great scenery through perthshire, and its right on our doorstep.

A few Cog folk have already signed up and it would be good to have a big turn out from Carse of Gowrie Velo. And the plan after the event is to go to Rait beer festival (not sure if its on?) or Glencarse Highland Games which is on the same day.

It may be out for some if you are riding Skye Sportive on the same day or the St. Andrews Sportive on the Sunday 25th August.

Find out more from Highland Perthshire Challenge website.

Discuss further in the forum.

Hope to see you there.
