This morning we were supporting Bexley Bike Club at their brilliant community BMX pump track session for kids.

We gave the area a good tidy up so everything was looking wheel-y good and in top gear for the young riders to enjoy.

Once the hard graft was done, we couldn’t resist hopping on the bikes for a few snaps, striking our best “tour de pose” moments!

As for taking on the pump track ourselves… let’s just say we didn’t want the kids’ skills to put us to shame!

All in all, a tyre-rific morning supporting the next generation of riders 🚲.

On 5 July 2021, GoodGym Bexley headed to the brand-new BMX Pump Track in Martens Grove Park, to give it a thorough tidy ahead of its official opening by the Mayor next day. In the drizzle we collected fallen leaves and picked up litter, leaving the track looking ship-shape for its big debut. As this was during the COVID 19 pandemic, we kept socially-distanced throughout, of course!

This morning we were back at the track, this time in the fog, getting it ready for Bexley Bike Club's free community session (supported by Access Sport), giving local children the chance to get into BMX cycling.

While the coaches ran a warm-up and skills drills on the neighbouring sports court, we worked alongside two other volunteers to sweep away the soggy autumn leaves and scoop up the puddles after Storm Claudia passed through last night.

It was a full-on workout, but 45 minutes later we were rewarded by seeing the young cyclists zooming around the track we'd just finished preparing.

The monthly sessions will resume in March next year and we hope to keep coming back to support them. Watch this space 🚲.
