WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE MONKEY HOUSE ?
Celebrating International Women’s Day - #AccelerateAction
GORILLA ENDURANCE
The lovely weather we had at the weekend brought out some big rides from a number of the troop.
Paul Astin rode to that there London, turned round and rode back again - nearly 210km , over 8 hours of riding.
James Brown rode the Summer Hare Route (190km, taking in all the hills and over 2600m of climbing) - in March . Madness!
and Neil Cocklin " popped home" - for him though , that's over 400km to Newport in Wales and back!
Great stuff you lunatics!
QOM's
After celebrating International Women's Day - see below photo from Sarah Sprittles ride last Thursday - the only Strava crown i could see this week, was a Queen of the Mountains for Rebecca Walsh. Chapeau.
