Every last Friday of the month, our virtual office is closed. Call it a bank holiday replacement for a remote distributed team. Sometimes on those days I chill out, on others, I like to do something new.
The Friday off of November turned out to be a spontaneous motorbike ride that I've been wanting to do for some time on my own bike.
Despite being on a bike I've been driving around the city for the past couple of months, I was apprehensive at first. I've done the ride before as a passenger and I knew there were some steep hills and tight corners ahead of me.
First stop was at a coffee roasters that always looked nice from the road. By this point the ride had barely begun so it was a good chance to get gather some confidence and drink some local coffee.
