WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE MONKEY HOUSE?

GORILLA QUIZ

We had 9 teams, and about 50 people turn up for the Gorilla Quiz at V2 at the Hare & Hounds on Friday evening, answering questions about primates, drawing bikes in custard, guessing Lego "celebrities", answering school childrens' questions and trying to tell the difference between Hob Nobs and Oaty Rounds. The eventual winners in a close fought contest were Team Aperol Spritts , but the real winners were our charity of the year CALM as we managed to raise £308 for them .

Thanks to my partner in crime Eugene Vichare .

INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

To celebrate International Womens Day we are having a WOMEN ONLY ride this Sunday 8th . It will be a socially paced 25-30 mile flat route led by Helen Pike, leaving Hare & Hounds at 9.30am, with drinks there afterwards.

GORILLA ENDURANCE

The 200 Club had their February outing on Saturday, and once they'd managed to get through the flooding had a good run out, doing 100 miles and getting back in the light. Thanks Sam Maybee and Rob Garratt .

Unfortunately Helen Pike group were curtailed by unfixable mechanicals and deep water , but all managed to get back safely to ride another day.
