Club Stats. 249 members collectively rode 27518 km in 780 rides, climbing 165196 metres in 1352 hours!
The number of members are up compared to last week, but due to lockdowns being enforced in many parts of the country, riding is down. As compared to last week, total kilometres, rides, climbing and number of hours on the saddle are marginally up.
