GORILLA ENDURANCE
Dana Chirila completed her first Audax this weekend , the Beacon Roads Cycling Club Sunrise Express - 120km, with nearly 1100m of climbing. Great work, especially as she picked up 30 Strava achievements on the way!
Also this weekend Adam Gale and Tom Wieckowski completed the 140km Solihull Cycling Club reliability ride , whilst Neil Cocklin rode a DIY 200km audax last Tuesday .Chapeau to all.
QOM's
The only QOM's spotted recently were from Kelly Baker as she prepares to go off to Calpe for a weekend of bike riding with fellow Gorillas Rachel Brown and Pip Mayo .
GORILLA ZWIFT
So after a poll on the Zwift group in the Whats App community we've decided to continue with our usual Wednesday 6.30pm Club Zwift rides at least until the end of March ( in the past we would have stopped this week) .
This week we are doing 1 lap (25km) of the RGV circuit - the event is set up in the GorillaCyclingClub section of the Zwift companion app, just click on to join - as usual the band is on to keep us together whatever power people are putting out.
