Thought I’d put this out there.
When I started a bike business one thing I thought would happen was that I’d end up riding more.
Actually it’s the opposite.Being a creative sort I thought about how I could change that. The simple truth is that I needed to create more opportunities to ride, even when I was “busy at work”.
Working for yourself it can be a little difficult to switch off. However, Sunday morning club rides are a great relaxation for me. It’s very pleasant to ride with a group of cyclists.
Family and work commitments etc means that there is little opportunity to ride both Saturday and Sunday, or even many evenings during the week.
So the only way that I can ride more is to get out during the working day. Obviously, that creates its own problems. Even though I run my own company, I still have to make the time add value.
It occurs to me that there’s probably a lot of other cyclists out there who would like to have a good reason to ride during the working day. The key is having a good reason to do it in terms of a business case. After all, that’s what the boss will be looking for to give you the nod.
We’re going to be setting up free “networking in the saddle” rides through the summer of 2015 where we’ll happily facilitate you being introduced to like-minded cyclists who may be able to help your business and career grow.
You likely do this already in your day to day job. How about making it more fun by doing it out in the countryside on your bike whilst relaxing and exercising. If you’d like to find out more there some details here: http://tinyurl.com/nj6vv3d
