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 23rd February and 8th March 2024, I will be cycling 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.

Friday 1st Mar Christine Brodie and I cycled together on our lunch break. It went so much quicker for me today and I really enjoyed the company! 30km/18.6 miles completed today :) Share
In office cycling - an acquired taste
Friday 1st Mar I cycled 15 miles on my lunch break yesterday in office. Had some lovely colleagues giving a thumbs up as they walked past, and one nice lady coverting the km into miles for me via Alexa as I cycled :) Share

Thursday 29th Feb Spin again last night, with husband in tow (he loves it). It gave me an extra push to try my hardest in the class, my legs are getting achy now! Share
Slow and steady wins the race
Wednesday 28th Feb I missed a spin class last night, due to parental taxi duties, but I still went along to the gym afterwards, put some music on and done my own version of a spin class. My tshirt was suitably drenched by the end so I'd say I gave it my all. Another 20 miles completed! Share
First cycle completed
Sunday 25th Feb Friday night spin class had me covering an 18 mile distance. Happy with that start to the challenge! ShareThank you to my Sponsors
