Very best of luck. We used the argument that improvement in facilities such as showers and a drying room would encourage more employees to cycle and walk to work, and so improve the overall health of us all. We eventually had brilliant drying facility with secure hanging space (think cage with a padlock door) . The showers were cleaned and everyone got onboard looking after the space. Bosses were happy Commuters were happy so don’t give up. Best of luck. 👍🏼

I have been training hard over the past few weeks and dragging others up hills . In the last week I have achieved pb's up a couple of the hills . So good for my friends and good for me
