WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE MONKEY HOUSE?

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Gorilla Time Trial - Thursday 21st-Sunday 24th May - details/rules to follow by end next week.

Interclub Day - Sunday 7th June - please invite friends from other clubs to come along, and wear their own club kit. We will be putting on a number of different paced rides, with our own volunteer ride leaders to guide the groups. A voluntary donation for our charity of the year CALM is requested. Rides will leave 9-9.30am, but there will be a coffee van in York Rd before hand. We will also have a raffle at the H&H after the rides, and a bric-a-brac stall ( please start sorting out anything you wish to part with) - all proceeds to charity.

Grand Day Out - Saturday 18th July - a new 200km route for this year, also with a 100km option for the first time. Or just a family ticket to the BBQ at a local rugby club after the rides get back. Full details, and routes nearer the time.

GORILLA ENDURANCE

Neil Cocklin completed another 200km ride South last Thursday, to continue rocking up the miles. Chapeau mate.
