Abdulla Zeinab on his Curve GXR

GALLERY AND Q&A: ABDULLAH ZEINAB’S RHINO RUN WINNING CURVE GXR

January 27, 2023

This year, Abdullah Zeinab rode his Curve GXR (AKA Kevin) to victory in just 7 days, 20 hours, and 4 minutes after an exciting hard fought battle with Kevin Benkenstein (Benky), who finished only 17 minutes later on a prototype Curve Karoo. 

Curve were good enough to send us over some shots of Abdullah’s GXR when it arrived back at Curve HQ, still covered in premium Namibian dust.

Introducing The Bike Network! A Cancer Charity making a difference through the sport of cycling!

November 23, 2021

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Adam, the incredible man behind The Bike Network, when he passed through G!RO for a Flat White on a tour of many of Londons favourite riding spots. Adam shared his poignant story (which you can read below) and how that morphed into the idea behind The Bike Network, his now fully registered charity, supporting those with cancer or recovering from cancer... Using the sport of cycling to aid the treatment and recovery as part of healthy lifestyle that helps to effectively ease both the physical and mental toll of this horrible illness. After meeting Adam, we were keen to help and get involved how we could! So we're proud to now be supporting these guys and accepting donations as part of their nationwide network of stores.

This has allowed our cycling community to blossom due to the basic principles that we share.

This is the gent who showed us the ropes in Girona. It was so good last year that we're going back again in a couple of weeks. 

'Sommet Cycling is the creation of Nick Frendo. A cyclist with a passion for riding and sharing experiences and creating memories on two wheels

The Sommet cycling aim is simple, deliver the best. The best locations and the highest level of customer service. Allow you to switch off and ride. Soak up the culture and immerse yourself in the surroundings away from the crowds. Our trips are curated, researched, not just seeking out the obvious. We stray away from training camps and sportives with the aim to show to around and experience your chosen destination.
