by Gianni / Nov 4 2012 / 68 posts

The first Velominati Scottish Cogal is in the books. Organized and supported by Clan Engine, it looked to be a beautiful Scottish day on the bikes. V-kits and Casually Deliberate in Callander, this Cogal thing is catching on. VLVV, Gianni …...

Cogal Report: Sydney Convict Cogal-2012

by Gianni / Aug 12 2012 / 48 posts

@Harminator dreamed up the Sydney Cogal months ago and the report has just floated in. Bad weather, good attitudes, plenty of riding and malted recovery beverage, that’s how it is done. Chapeau.VLVV, Gianni…...

Cogal Report: 2Much on 100-2012

by Gianni / Aug 5 2012 / 48 posts

This has been in the works for a while. I don’t want to take up too much time as you all have a lot of reading to do here. Rodger has an opening ramble then introduces us to the whole crew. Rob added his two cents worth and Xyxax wrote a perfect final report so don’t stop until you read his. I had a report from Tim that gmail has hidden...

Cogal Report: San Francisco Cogal 2012

@Nate organized this gem up in Marin, California. Where are all you people out there? At least he was not taking you over three mountains in the French Alps. I did not attend either, disregard my name above. VLVV, Gianni Continue reading...

@936adl loves a Cogal and he didn’t mess around with this one. Later today the San Francisco Cogal report and next week the much awaited 200 on 100 report. VLVV, Gianni…...

Cogal Report: The Three Reservoir Ride Cogal

by Gianni / Jul 15 2012 / 2 posts

Sundays bring Cogal reports. This Cogal invitation was posted in early June for a ride just a few weeks later. As Doug Wilcox reported, “210 kms, 70 riders and an unusually ideal day for an Indiana summer (low 80′s degree F, low humidity, and calm winds). In fact, it may be good that we have this on film, as it has not rained here since...

Guest Article: Ride 542 – the Mt. Baker Hill Climb

by eightzero / Jun 29 2012 / 66 posts

@eightzero is throwing down the sweaty gauntlet here. He has a vision of a V-kitted, Rule compliant freight train of pain. Normally this post would be directly slotted into the Cogal section but it technically is not a Cogal: it has an entry fee, it’s too organized and people will not get lost. We have, however, included it on the Cogal Calen...

Seattle Summer Cogal 2012 Report

by eightzero / Jun 24 2012 / 31 posts

Some weeks ago, I took notice that the days were getting longer (note that this is not necessarily synonymous with “summer” in Seattle) and that it had been an overly long period of time since the Inaugural Seattle Cogal on Whidbey Island back in October. A quick email to Frank to suggest we organize a Cogal resulted in my new understan...

Ontario Cogal Report: Canada Brings the V

by Steampunk / Jun 17 2012 / 45 posts

A word about Cogal reports from the boardroom – we will attempt to run every Cogal report that arrives but it will only be the main article for a day or less, depending on Cogal back log. We would like the reports to be enjoyed by all Velominati but we can’t leave them up for the usual two to three days. They will then be relegated below th...
