Gobik: Grupeta Battle
Singapore's very first cycling coffee party
Last Sunday, August 17th, we held the first Gobik Grupeta Battle in Singapore , a cycling-related coffee party that brought together some of the city's most active groups. The cycling scene in Singapore continues to grow, and Gobik has the honor of outfitting more than ten local grupetas, true protagonists of this community, with Gobik Custom Works .
The proposal was simple: have riders compete in a knockout format, using the Training Peaks platform in an indoor cycling studio in the city, supported by Virtual Cycling Singapore . All around, a unique atmosphere was created with a coffee corner by La Marzocco x Allpress , local coffee roasters. DJs were provided, and delicious burritos from Guzmán y Gomez , who didn't hesitate to support us again at this event with their healthy Tex-Mex food.
Several surprises in the form of customized merchandising with the image of the Gobik Grupeta Battle provided rhythm and excitement for those who came to cheer on the different groups, as well as for the participants who gave their all.
The result exceeded all expectations. More than 80 people gathered to experience each heat intensely, vibrating to the rhythm of the battles and the music. A true celebration in which the Singapore cycling community became the true protagonist of the event.
The Gobik Grupeta Battle was much more than a competition: it was the perfect excuse to bring together the entire Singapore cycling community in one place, share their passion for the sport, and enjoy a unique morning, full of energy, coffee, and cycling.
Quantum Racing was the winner of this first edition, and we're already thinking about a second one with the new additions from the new groups we'll have in the city.
