Last night we welcomed Michael back from York Goodgym to do the same task he helped us with just over a year ago now!

The task was to help Sustrans cleaning the National Cycle Network signs along the canal towpath. Laura provided the wipes to clean all the signs we could catch along the way. John and Tom led the way, with Liam as backmarker after his Chicago Marathon and 3 weeks off from running.

After we had caught all the NCN signs we could find with a few jumps to clean some of them along the way, we headed back to base along the Soho loop. This is when Rob decided to make the group stop along the way to do a hill session. 

This involves hard running up the hill, a turn at the top where Liam decided to stand, after each sprint up Liam took it upon himself to move ever so slightly back to increase the distance of the hill, thanks for that Liam!!! We did this for two 2-minute sessions, every did a fantastic job with Laura and Morwenna pulling each other along.

After everyone had caught their breaths back, it was time to head back to base to rehydrate with a lovely beverage at 1000 trades.

We will be back next week doing more good deeds, it would be great to see you there.
