Beginners Breeze Hatch End

This is an easy ride for women who can pedal and balance a bike, but may be feeling a bit nervous and are looking to build road confidence. You need to have your own bike and if it has been sitting in a garage worth getting it checked out at a bike shop before you come on the ride.
We will start off in Shaftesbury Park practising skills and also use the quiet residential roads nearby. This is your opportunity to do all 3 series in a row to get confidence riding in pairs/groups so that you can start joining other breeze beginners rides slowly increasing your miles, skills and stamina. Only join this session if you are a beginner to riding on roads and you can safely cycle in a straight line.

Do not come if you have any covid symptoms.

Before you come please check your tyres, brakes and chain to ensure everything is in full working order. We cannot fix your bike on the spot. Make sure the seat is the right height. Here is a video to remind you of areas to check: https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/get-active/2019/everyday-walking-and-cycling/the-m-check-for-your-bike-in-11-steps

No special gear is needed but please remember to layer up with warm clothing, wear tight fitting trousers near the ankle (no loose clothing), wear gloves and a hat if required under your helmet (adjusting it appropriately).
