We had a great start to the weekend supporting Fulbourn Hospital parkrun.

Harriet was out early setting up the course, a tough task this morning covering up all the rabbit holes and clearing leaves, and I was number checking. Jobs well done as the parkrun was incident free and all numbers were aligned 🙌 We celebrated with a hot drink in the cafe to warm up.

Well done to all the runners and walkers!

Storm Benjamin didn't stop play, so we hit the streets of Cambridge again this week to keep the area tidy. Taking a steady jog, we headed this time to the bus station and surrounding green space. There wasn't as much litter as we were expecting, but we managed to collect nearly a bag full in 40 minutes, so a good effort 💪 A lovely member of the public stopped to say they were grateful for what we were doing, which was a nice reminder of the impact we have.

It was brilliant to welcome Ilse for her first GoodGym task 🙌

There is always a vibrant atmosphere at Brook Leys Parkrun and this morning was no exception! Goodgym was represented across the event, with Caroline marshaling, Nick running and Catherine handing out finish tokens 🙌 🏃‍♂️ 🏁

Harriet was also representing at Fulbourn Parkrun, a fantastic Goodgym team effort across Cambridge!

After some warming cups of tea and pastries, a couple of us strapped on our helmets and headed out on a cycle into the Cambridgeshire countryside. With a hearty lunch and cake at our stopping point, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way - particularly the autumnal colours coming in 🍁

Some unexpected excitement came in the form of a flat tyre, but we worked together and had it changed in record time! We were back on the road in no time and celebrated our 40 km efforts with refreshments and a cosy fireplace at the finish 🚴‍♀️
