Good turn out with 9 riders up for the Tour de Tay last night, with 2 new riders along for the ride (Nick & Jamie).

Tour de Tay Club Ride this week
We will be doing a Tour de Tay this Thursday 23rd May 2013. Usually a clockwise trip to Dundee over Tay road bridge through Wormit – Newport – Newburgh – Perth over to Carse of Gowrie and finish up at Inchture Hotel. Hope to see a big turn out this week, many coggers returning from a cycling break in Majorca with good miles in their legs.(Lucky chaps!) Any questions or suggestions then please discuss in our forum.
We will meet at the usual place Inchture Hotel 6.30pm
Please note for any new comers this can take 3hours or more to complete the 52miles so you may want to remember warm clothes, food and lights.
Here is an idea of the route we take: http://app.strava.com/activities/44430434

Our highest placed male rider was Russell and our highest placed female rider was Steph – congratulations to you both.

Etape Caledonia 2013
Epic performance from all COG Velo at the Etape Caledonia Pitlochry with 9 riders in the Top 100 and a couple of riders that did particularly well were Russell and Steph finishing the quickest from our Team. And those who lead the group from the front much Kudos! We were looking awesome in our new kit and the photographers took a keen interest as you can see from The Courier today front page and page 10.
Weather conditions were quite good with just the wind to deal with no rain and not too hot.
Thank you to our sponsors Miller Hendry and Medical & Dental Financial Planners.

Etape Caledonia 2013
Hope you are all ready for this Sunday Etape Caledonia 2013, trained to peak condition and bikes are all set to go. Had mixed reports on the weather for Pitlochry, I wouldn’t like to say for sure but the rain seems to be later in the day – so lets keep everything crossed. Early start time for most 6.30am make sure alarms are set nice and early.
Important: You need to take photographic id for registration. Safety pins is also a good idea for bib number.
(Friday 6pm-9pm | Sat 9am-8pm)
Good luck and enjoy the nice cycle around Perthshire!
