We had something a bit different this week. It was a tough one!
The now annual Park Hill Uprise Urban Hill Climb organised by Adam Simmonite of Sheffield Urban Cyclocross.
More details on the event and entry can be found here.
The main aim of the eve was to try and gain back as much of the cobbles from nature as possible. This is a fantastic area, but it's not shown so much love and the once wide cobblestone paths get grown over by weeds and moss, making it less accessible to people and particularly for this event slippery and not as safe as it should be.
ENTER GOOD GYM!
Armed with sharp spades, brushes and snow plows, kindly borrowed from SUSTRANS SIMON, we got straight to work after meeting Adam on site who had already put over an hours shift in!
By the end of our time the path was looking much safer and wider, ready for the main event this coming Saturday! If you can make it down to enter or even just to support on the sidelines it will be sure to be a great event!
Following the efforts some of us headed to The Rutland Arms for refreshments and a first experience of the ledgendary 'Rutty Butty' - All the carbs!

Thank you Tom! I'm aching all over today...but really proud of how much we achieved!
You guys really went for it! Well done. I soon ran out of steam and the noise was painful!
Well done guys!
