💪 22 great and good GoodGymmers met for our weekly group run. We named, numbered and warmed up while thinking of something we could do to be a little more green and set off to Get Cycling with the excellent Amy leading the way with a lovely river route 🌊

🚲 On our arrival, Joanne greeted us with an introduction to how they (literally) help people get cycling, with a range of accessible (and very fancy) bikes 🤩

🎨 We then had to avoid said accessible and fancy bikes whilst painting their room. We had two rollers, a range of paintbrush sizes and lots of enthusiasm, which got us a long way. Some interesting painting poses also helped us tackle some of the trickier spots. We ended up with more paint on ourselves (especially Egg) than the fancy bikes, which was definitely a good thing, and Joanne was very happy with our work 😁

🥶 Having enjoyed the (relative) light and warmth of the shop, we ventured back out into the cold and dark evening for our run back to base, again led by the brilliant Amy, who even gave us a different route, which was lovely 🌃

☔ Some very light precipitation (not rain, honest) just started to fall from the sky as we were doing our fitness but that didn't deter our determined efforts and we cracked on with aplomb. We did head inside for some sheltered stretching though 👍

👌 Thank you everyone, great work and hopefully see you again soon. Oh, and we (including myself) should probably start bringing our headtorches and hi viz to #runbrightatnight as the evenings get darker 💡
