Beautiful Beginners in Southall

NB, for this day we will start in Spikesbridge Park, 77 West Avenue. We will meet by the London Tigers pavilion (by the car park). (I have changed the start location as the Southall Mela is on that same weekend, so we won’t have space to ride in Southall Park)

We will start in the park, and as we become more confident we can cycle in the quiet residential streets together.

Over time, we can go to places nearby such as Hanwell Zoo, Osterley Park, the Hillingdon Cycle track and Northala Fields

These rides are (mostly) every other week for women who have not ridden a bicycle for years, or have just learned and want to practice, or only ride very occasionally and want to become more confident.

Once we feel comfortable cycling in the park we will be going out on cycle paths and nearby quieter roads. We will also learn how to cycle on other roads, but if the traffic is too much, we can always get off our bikes and walk with them across busy junctions

If the group is willing we can stop for refreshments in a cafe, or share our water and snacks as a mini picnic in the park - a chance for us to get to know each other better.

If you want you can bring some money/cards so you can buy yourself refreshments, or bring something to drink/eat. A bicycle lock is useful, but not essential.

I'd welcome women who have not ridden a bicycle for years, those who have just learned and want to practice, or only ride very occasionally and want to become more confident.
