Be part of our crazy cycling challenge… Last year we cycled into space, this year can we make the International Space Station (ISS)?
Join COG Velo in their attempt to cycle up the hill to Abernyte enough times to total 400,000m of vertical ascent, and reach the International Space Station!
Our 2nd COG Velo AGM will be held in the Inchture village hall at 7pm on Friday 21st November.
Location: Inchture village hall
Date: 21st November 2014
Time: 7pm – till as late as you want 😉
A chairman’s report and agenda will be available on the night. It would be great to see as many of our 50 active members there as possible. I’m sure some will go onto the hotel for further refreshments afterwards as well…

Ali on behalf of Carse of Gowrie Velo (we are not worthy) no seriously we wish you every success in your new post and congratulations thats great news.
Do we have to bow or something when you come out riding with us now…? lol
COG club ride with 6 strong slightly hindered by some deer crossing while travelling at speed was a bit scary. Poor Fran had a little fall – but she is fine which good news. The ride started from Inchture up to Coupar Angus then returning via Newtyle and finishing at Inchture Hotel.
This weekend will see 2 teams of Crazy Coggers heading up north to Strathpeffer near Inverness to take on the mighty Strathpuffer 24 hour mountain bike race. Temperatures will be between -10 and +10 making it very cold and yes there is snow and ice – brrr!
So what does it involve? Basically you do as many laps of the course (7 miles) as you can within the allotted time 24 hours. Aswell as riding constantly you have to eat, keep warm and stop your bike from breaking under the brutal conditions. Who needs sleep anyway?
