RPM Team Completes La Pinarello!

11 of the bravest and fittest RPM staff completed the gruelling cycling marathon 'La Pinarello', which took place in the stunning Dolomites of Italy. Here are some facts from the RPM team:

6 months of training took place prior to the race.
The route was 204km long and took the team 9 hours, 40 minutes to complete.
One team member 'accidentally' took the wrong route 'back to the swimming pool'.
The cyclists reached speeds of up to 80mph.
Four RPMers crossed the line together: Tim, Joe, Reuben and Shane.
Matt Convery came within the top 100 of the mountain climbers, out of 3,500 competitors.
The team endured full body cramps and severe exhaustion.
1 bike crashed (the team isn't revealing who this was!).
