Spaceworks cycling above the clouds

The Spaceworks Friday ride set off today in unpromising conditions, sustained by a big hot coffee and warmed pain au chocolat from Cafe Euro.

Emerging from the cloud cover near Stanage was amazing, as this picture shows.

Back to the office for a quick sandwich and an afternoon of work and feeling productive. A couple of hours well spent.

The rides will be every 3 weeks, which makes the next one 10th December. 9.30 from Spaceworks, well from the sofa in Cafe Euro probably.

Spaceworks on wheels - Friday rides

A few of us who share Spaceworks have been going out on regular bike rides on Friday mornings. It is a social ride for all sorts of people, but we like the idea that it is an opportunity for fellow self-employed people to take advantage of being your own boss. Bobbing out for a bike ride (if that is what you like doing) should be one of the advantages of controlling your own time, but it is easy to not get round to it. Having a regular slot in your diary makes sure you do do it.

Most rides have been on road bike for a couple of hours into the Peaks, but off-road is an option too. Main thing is that it is at a social pace, it is not training and to emphaise that point we try to incorporate cake, not energy drinks, into the schedule.

We'll tweet the rides, but there is one tomorrow 19th. We are having coffee at 9.30 in Spaceworks first.
