GORILLA MERCHANDISE
Rob Garratt has sorted out some off bike kit for you all - a baseball cap, a tote bag and t-shirts ( of various colours) - these can all be purchased via the website on the MERCH page ( www.gorillacyclingclub.co.uk/merch ). The orders are fulfilled directly by a 3rd party, and prices include all shipping costs ( within UK). Please note that we haven't been able to negate the request for additional information at checkout ( we are working on a fix), but in the meantime just populate with X .
If this range is a success we are hoping to be able to offer other t-shirt designs and clothing..

GORILLA ENDURANCE
Neil Cocklin is back completing the Brum 200 ( though actually cycling 252km including there and back) on Sunday.
HILL CLIMBING
After winning our hill climb trophy for Lea End lane on 18th October, last weekend Scott Hamblett entered the NATIONAL Hill climb championship on Porlock Toll road, and put out his best ever power for 15 minutes to come a very creditable 78th place ( if memory serves last year i think he was 103rd?) . Chapeau !
GORILLA ZWIFT
Our weekly Wednesday evening Gorilla Zwift returned last week for the first time this Winter, and this week, at 6.30pm , I will be leading around the 34km California Roll lap , which takes in all the new California coast in Watopia, with only 139m of elevation. The band will be on anyway to keep us all together. Just head to the Zwift companion app, join the Gorilla Cycling club, and check out our events, and sign up to this weeks ride.
THURSDAY RIDES
The rides for Thursday are now up , 5 groups ranging in speed from 15-19mph - head over to the members section of the website to book on - if you fancy giving it a try just use the coupon code freeride26 , and club membership at the moment til the end of the year is only £6.50 anyway.
See you either virtually on Wednesday or in person on Thursday ( where i hope to have the cycling club kit that people had ordered to give out)
Ride safe
