Cycle for Smart Works 2024

For many women, getting a job is a lifeline. It is a chance to escape poverty, gain financial stability and restore confidence. In the shadow of the cost of living crisis, there is an intensified need for the Smart Works service.

Smart Works is a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for their job interview. They give women the confidence they need to reach their full potential, secure employment and transform their lives. In the last year, 72% got a job within a month of their appointment.

Between 1 and 8 March 2024, I will be cycling 500 miles to raise vital funds for Smart Works. I will be pedalling for a purpose and would appreciate every pound you are able to give to support this brilliant charity.

Thursday 7th Mar
Yay! I managed it :) :) :) 

checking up new routs

Wednesday 6th Mar
I cycled to Pencaitland yesterday - some hills toward it but a pleasure of mainly downhill gliding on the way back! 

Windy ride

Friday 1st Mar
Today's ride was a little struggle - heavy wind and lots of hills (about 776ft), so it was quite a challenge. Nevertheless, another 15.42 miles in the bank! 

day 3

Tuesday 27th Feb
a lunch ride from Haddington to East Linton and back (back was a challenge due to the rain and wind) but I am getting hang of this I think ! :) 

20 miles banked in!

Monday 26th Feb
Second ride and 11 miles added! 

Off to a good (I hope!) start

Friday 23rd Feb
I just completed a first cut of the challenge. Only just over 10 miles but nerveless start is a start!
