Brighton Report written by Philippa (She/her)
Thrilled at the prospect of it being LIGHT OUTSIDE since the clocks went back, we enjoyed a sunny (but still chilly) evening in Hanover.
With plenty of new faces at the meeting point, we started with introductions and congratulated Pippa on 50k last weekend, and wished Olivia good luck for the London marathon on Sunday. Then it was straight into some hill workouts, with a long slow hill to endure at the start, then a wee speedy one up to the Pepper Pot at the top of Queen's Park.
Arriving at the task, we were met by fellow Goodgymer Michelle, who has a side gig as a primary teacher. She showed us the half-built monsters being prepared for the Children's Parade, which kicks off Brighton Festival in May. The theme is Where the Wild Things Are, and we were wildly excited to get stuck in! Whether it was constructing leaves from willow sticks, adding a layer of papier mache to a giant monster, stripping colourful ribbons off sticks, or blowing up rugby balls, we all channeled our inner 8-year-old and had a great time.
We were sad to wrap up when the bell rang, but playtime wasn't over! We braved the chill wind to complete an 8 minute interval workout, and discovered that some playground equipment is a lot more challenging than it looks. Finally it was home time, and we ran our separate ways, with some of us making a detour to take in a fab view of the setting sun 🌞
Thanks everyone for a great task, looking forward to more sunny and (hopefully) warm sessions in the coming months 😎

BUY - FIX - RIDE - DONATE YOUR BIKE
Brighton Bike Hub is a volunteer-run Community Cycle Workshop, off Brighton’s Lewes Road, working to reduce waste and enable members of the community to access affordable cycling.
Today, GoodGymers Michael, Richard and Stefania supported a horde of regular Brighton Hub volunteers to replace a tired out old tent roof over the Lewes road workshop.
First, we had to shift all the bikes out of the workshop to give us all some space. The old roof was then "raised" and with the help of some ladders, and old bits of wood removed from the frame. A shiny new roof was then unfolded and with the same tools and plenty of pulling stretched over the frame.
We had a good bit of time left so we squeezed some old inner tubes between the frame and the tent, put some prices out on the repaired bikes and got the group photo sorted.
Many hands made light work and we left the hub before the night and rain set in!
Next time in spring we will volunteer to bike bikes! We are already exited.
