HILL HATH NO FURY tonight at Goodgym Bath for 13 keen runners chomping at the bit to RUN FOR THE HILLS, more precisely a 8k trip up to Odd Down cycle circuit to seal the floors in the bike store. This is a great place where people of all abilities can come and take a variety of bikes out around the circuit.

Lovely to see some new faces tonight along with the trusty regulars, so a warm welcome to Alice and Jon joining us tonight before headcount.

We used the start of tonight's run to warm up with a nice steady pace before making a 4k assent to Odd Down playing fields, no hill reps required on this run but boy we do love a Hill in Bath. Our host Felix was there to greet us in the cycle store and quickly had team 1 clearing the middle cage whilst team 3 mixed the glue 7-1 and team 2 the sweepers stuck in the middle, the challenge was to seal the floor to protect and control the dust, it's an extremely well used space for a variety of groups, some bikes are specially adapted providing an invaluable service to people with disabilities. After all inclusion is extremely important.

The group worker wonders in the 30 minutes given to complete this task, DIDN'T THEY DO WELL (if you don't get it, it's because your too young) Group photo in the bag before heading back down that even more lovely hill to the leisure centre for a nice little stretch and reminder to bring you ID along to the next group run if you wish to be paired up or go on missions.

Thanks joe for leading whilst Steph back marked and Joe for tonight's fab pun and everyone else for coming along and being totally awesome as always.

A reminder to bring an unwanted coat/jumper or blanket/sleeping bag or anything to keep the rough sleepers warm on the streets of Bath https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/coats-for-the-homeless We also have a Saturday starter sessions for the next two weeks.
