Beginners' Ride in Walpole Park: Summer of Cycling

Beginner bike rides for any woman who has just started cycling and wants to get more practice, or who rides occasionally and would like to build her confidence, or who hasn’t had her bike out for years and would like to get back on.

Our rides are fun, free and easy and we always go at the pace of the slowest. Qualified women volunteers will lead the ride. We will have a gentle ride of 1-1.5 hrs, around the park and out onto quiet local roads when we're ready, followed by refreshments at a local cafe.

You will gain confidence in riding your bike in a safe, encouraging and friendly group, learn some cycle-friendly routes around Ealing, and get some gentle exercise in the fresh air.
You do need: a working bike. Beg, borrow or buy a bike, pump up the tyres, check the brakes and make sure the wheels turn. Dress for the weather, and don't wear anything long or baggy that might get caught in the chain.

You don't need: fancy lycra clothes, a helmet, an expensive bike, or to be super-fit. Breeze riders come in all shapes, sizes and ages, and every woman is welcome.

We will have a gentle ride around Walpole and Lammas Parks, then going out onto quiet local roads.

We will stop for refreshments at a local cafe.
