We met a couple of wonderful Sustrans volunteers who work tirelessly to keep the national network accessible and pleasant for walking, wheeling and cycling. They brought us the tools and the plan.

We were working on a particularly grotty underpass which is part of the 627 route. It is a short section that goes under the Parkway and links Broad Street near Park Square to Victoria Quays. It was such a mess.

Quite a few walkers, runners and cyclists were using it despite the litter and vegetation lining the route. And evidently people use the area for parking in the day.

We got to work sweeping, litter picking and cutting back some vegetation to make it clear. Very satisfying! We could really see the difference.

A journalist from ITV met us to cover the story for the telly. See the story on ITV on 26th February at 6pm. or catch it on ITV catchup for 24 hours after that.

Back to the Showroom for drinks and snacks.

Thanks everyone for coming and for Sustrans who made this happen and joined us on a relatively chilly Monday night.

This week took us to a new project to @GGSHF to help the folks at Sheffield Community Bike Project (SCBP).

We also welcomed a new runner this week. Give a cheer and follow for Matthew!

It was also great to see Lucy back for her second run with us!

SCBP has been in Sheffield for a little while now, but until recently only had temporary spaces. Now they have their own space on King Street and it is taking shape!

As with all community/volunteer based projects there is always some work to do and that's what we were there for.

On the cards for the evening was:

• Move tool boards from one wall to another
• Move inner tube hanger from one wall to another
• Re-arrange ceiling tiles that had come loose
• Put new notice board outside
• Add tools to the tool boards

It was fantastic to be able to help the project and find out about more of what SCBP to. Hopefully we will be back again soon to help with other projects they need a hand with and some of our runner may head to a session to fix their bike or volunteer to help.

Until next time, happy running :)

It was fantastic to welcome two new goodgym runners tonight, a big welcome to:

Amy Lucy

Please do give them a follow and a cheer!

This week saw us head up to Union Street Cafe to help out the fantastic organisation that is Common Thread who do fantastic work saving clothes from landfill and encouraging sustainable fashion through clothes swaps and exchanges.

We got stuck straight in as soon as we arrived after a brief brief from Jess the boss.

The tasks tonight were to dress the mannequins with Fran and take photos to help market the clothes exchange, or help sort bags or to make signs ready for the next upcoming clothes exchange.

Everyone got stuck straight in and the results speak for themselves in the photos!

Until next week, happy running! :)
