Tonight we welcomed Lizzy and Jas to GoodGym for the first time. It was lovely to have you with us.

Without further ‘a do’ we got cracking, myself and Will front marking and John back marking. On arrival at the canal the group was split into two groups of four, each picking up litter on a different part of our adopted canal towpath. We then all met up at Aston Lock to drop the bags off. We had a quick picture then got on our way to Millennium point for some 1 mile time-trial action.

John took the lead in the time-trial closely stalked by Liam. Will pushed on well, grabbing himself a ten second pb, nice one! Jas and Lizzy put in fantastic performances for their first TT, working with Laura to break eight minutes. Karin put in some top work not far off the pace running a solid sub 9 time. All the results are below :-) Oh and well done to Morwenna, who cracked on despite suffering with the lurgy, otherwise known as a cold.

John 6.05 Liam 6.27 Will 7.01 Morwenna 7.42 Lizzy 7.47 Laura 7.49 Jas 7.56 Karin 8.49

Once done with the TT we headed back to the warmth of 1000 Trades after a quick stretch of course.

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
