CAFÉs and Other Mini Bike Adventures Breeze

[Photo credit: Dabbling Duck café, Shere] THIS GROUP IS TEMPORARILY ON HOLD. Breeze women's ROAD CYCLING group 30-65+ miles. This is a friendly but closed group. Normally, riders have cycled with us on Little Lanes Breeze rides (11-12.5mph/18-20kph), and are now ready and wanting relaxed "newbie ROAD CYCLING" rides on scenic routes. Strava average speed 13-14.5mph/21-23kph over 30-65miles/60-105k of gently rolling roads; slower on hilly rides, faster on flat rides, enjoying, not rushing. We ride on ROAD BIKES, and in clip-in pedals (or soon!). We use pleasant, quiet and scenic roads as far as possible; occasionally road bike friendly traffic-free cycle paths. We ride in small groups of 6-8 ideally; 10 max. We strive to be neat and tidy in our riding, and to make a second nature of good road cycling skills and etiquette ... all without being overly rigid! We ride at pace of the slowest, tackle hills and descents at own pace, re-group at junctions / top & bottom of hills, have unrushed coffee breaks and leave no one behind. Group members who have been inactive for more than 6 months are removed. Our usual meeting point is The Pheasantry Café in Bushy Park. Here, coffee and loo’s are available from 8:30 (summer) and 9am (winter), There is a free car park Teddington is the closest train station. www.letsride.co.uk/groups/ponytails-curves.
