<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>TOUR DE FARCE</b><br></font>Last month we gave you a running challenge... this month we have a cycling challenge for you! Before July 28th when the last race of the Tour de France would have taken place, we would like you to try and cycle the same distance as the final leg - around 80 miles in total. Like the running you can log the distance you have done on the website and we will be giving prizes for those that manage to cycle the furthest. More info on the website<p>
Those of you who took part in the running; the medals and trophies were ordered last week however due to the current situation we have been advised they may take a bit longer than usual to arrive.<p>
We will be publishing some local cycle routes you might want to try cycling over the next few weeks on the website; keep a look out for them. Our first one; an 11km ride to South Mimms and back can be found <a href="http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/cycling/route1.php">here</a>.

You can download a copy of our information brochure below, or visit <a href="http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/members.php">this webpage</a> for more information.<p><center>

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>THE RACE</b><br></font>Those of you who like running (or even if you don't!) we would encourage you to take part in our 'race'. Running around Oaklands Avenue/Westland Drive in Brookmans Park is exactly 1km with no road crossings to worry about so we would like you to do two laps, time yourselves and upload it to the website. We will be running this until the end of July; you can either try to get the fastest time or just see if you can improve your time over the course of the contest. Please remember of warm up and warm down before running. Further info including course etc can be found <A href="http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/race/">here</a>.

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>GOBIONS CLEANUP</b><br></font>Gobions is struggling a bit at the moment litter wise because a lot more people are visiting it than usual. The Parish Council Groundsmen are doing their best, and to be fair the vast majority of people are being responsible and clearing up their litter after themselves, however there is still some being left behind both on the field and in the woods.
<p>
We are looking for families who would be willing to go on a rota (no more than once a month!) to visit Gobions with litter pickers, gloves and black sacks to pick up any litter that has been left lying around. Litter collected can be left by one of the bins for the groundsmen to collect and we would supply the litter pickers, gloves etc which would need to be picked up from the village centre.
<p>
We are proposing to collect litter on the mornings or evenings of Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (at least until when the pubs reopen and the volume of people using Gobions decreases...). if you would be willing to help out, please reply to this email and let us know which day(s) would suit you best and we will put a rota together.<p>
