This is a beginners ride to gently get you into cycling, its a nice flat route in Witton Park. This is for women only. Note the Ride Start Time is 10:15am; but please arrive 10 minutes early as we will do a cycle and clothing check prior to setting off on the ride. We will proceed to cycle around the cycle path at a leisurely pace to suit all cyclists, we will then cycle up to Tower Road just to the entrance to the Cemetery, and repeat as many times as we want to. The ride is planned for 4 miles however we can do more or less depending on how we are all feeling. We ride at a pace to suit the group and won't leave anyone behind. Don't be put off if you feel a bit nervous or rusty, we've all been there! We advise you to dress and be prepared to suit the weather on the day, especially waterproofs or extra layers for adverse weather. Its always a good idea to bring a drink, although there will be a coffee stop during or after the ride so bring some money if you want to buy drinks, snacks etc. Helmets are not compulsory but we advise if you have one to bring it with you. Its always a good idea to bring a spare inner tube / repair kit / pump. The ride can be done on a road bike, however some sections are more suited to Hybrids and Mountain Bikes. As with all Breeze rides, we will ride to the pace of the slowest rider and regroup or stop at any point on the ride. Once booked if you realise you can't make it please cancel your place online. Thank you!
