WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE MONKEY HOUSE?

GRAND DAY OUT

The Grand Day Out was a great success with 36 riding the event - and only 1 DNF ( due to breaking his back mech hanger).

Thanks to:

Neil Cocklin for organising the route and the day

Eugene Vichare for the BBQ and hosting

Emma Lambert for all her baking

Rob Anderson for manning the first control

Catherine Vichare for all her food preparation for the BBQ

Lindsey Trivett for sorting the coffee van

Lee Brotherhood GOLF for sponsoring the post ride beers

Sarah Sprittles for riding the final re-con with Neil to make sure the route worked just fine.

James Brown for filming the event - I've stolen screen shots from his instagram reel here.

And thanks to those of you who rode the event on Saturday . Chapeau.

Our next club event is the Charity Interclub Day on Sunday 13th July - more details to follow later this week.

GORILLA RACING

The big news this week is that Kelly Murphy retained her Irish Time Trial title - meaning she has now won it 5 times. Amazing stuff . Well done Kelly.

Paul Astin and Phil Hood both rode the BMC k1/16 course last Thursday, with Phil coming joint 1st road bike, and Paul taking 2nd spot overall.
