Ozgur Tekcan has done their first good deed with GoodGym.

Ozgur is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Brompton Bicycles meets local Woodlands = Lots of Bike Petals.... !!

Ealing Report written by Yianny (he / him)

On Wednesday GoodGym was back with Brompton Bicycles, taking a new cohort of staff to see what GoodGyming is all about.

A group of 9 lovely (and committed) people from across different departments were introduced to the concept of getting fit while doing good as we prepared to make the - just over- 5km journey to a local woodland area to meet with our task owner for the day, Dee

Anyone looking out of the window at 7/8am may have been forgiven for not showing up in reception for a cycle and outdoor activity, but the team were ready and waiting: the clouds rolled away and we were rewarded with a gloriously sunny morning!

We had some competent riders in the group, which made things much easier - thanks to Alex and Mark for starting us off towards the back, making sure the line stayed together.

Lambeth AA was stepping in this week, so Uxbridge isn't quite familiar territory but the directions from Liv were great and took us away from the busy industrial roads and through a couple of local parks (with a few inclines of course) and over to the Woodlands. Ozgur was doing a great job at the front following signals and relaying them, while Varsha and Bhavsing attacked the climbs in the park like superstars despite not being used to these rides.

Just before we arrived to meet Dee, the group finally stretched and separated into two but with Edward zooming back we were able to arrive almost simultaneously, and work could start.

The task was to clear a new area of the woodland for the William Hobbayne Charity and a group of young children with special needs who would visit on Saturday and be taken through outdoor activities, learning about the natural environment. In no time the weeds and leaves were cleared, and some hefty logs moved up to the new site so the group really did get its upper and lower body workout in.

With all the hoeing, chopping, sawing, lifting and bagging done it was time to wave goodbye and Kristina with her local knowledge suggested a more direct route back which everybody agreed on.

A big shout out to Alvaro who stayed with Yianny and Joan on the way back, and of course well done Joan for cycling that far and making a difference!

Thank you to all the team from Brompton, and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
