Week 5 Update of the Cycling Monks Strava Group. Week ending 5th July 2020.
Club Stats. 232 members collectively rode 27256 km in 774 rides, climbing 164540 metres in 1344 hours!
The number of members are up, but due to the monsoons hitting the entire country, riding is down. As compared to last week, total kilometres, rides, climbing and number of hours on the saddle are all down. Here’s to hoping that everyone spends some more time on their bikes…
Leaderboard: Overall
Top of the charts is Super Randonneur Sukhwinder Singh from Punjab clocking a crazy high 811.4 km. He has been consistently clocking a lot of miles week after week. He also managed the longest ride of the week.
