In addition to this ride being a part of Watford Cycle Hub’s first anniversary event, it has been put on with the Breeze Network  to encourage as many women as possible to get together for a mass ride along the Ebury Way and around the Rickmansworth Aquadrome. We’re hoping that women’s mass rides will become a regular monthly event from Watford Cycle Hub and provide a natural cycling opportunity for ladies graduating from the Hub’s Women’s Only “Absolute Beginners” and “Confidence Booster” cycle training programmes to meet other women cyclists. There will be a number of Breeze Champions on hand to help lead the ride so please encourage your friends and family to come along (if you register someone at the same time as yourself you will receive a reward! – see below). If you want to drive with your bike to the start of the ride there’s plenty of free parking at King George V Playing Fields & Holywell Community Centre.   Alternatively you can hire bikes from the Cycle Hub though we’d suggest early booking.  Call on 01923-223-994 or email [email protected].  In addition if you’re coming from Garston please do check out Heather’s other rides happening that day to join her at the Meriden Community Centre leaving at 10.30am. Arrive at the Cycle Hub for 11:30am & there'll be time to have a quick soup & rolls break before settling any children into their activities and setting off on the ride at 12:30pm. Heather’ll be leaving the Hub to go back to the Meriden Community Centre at 3pm, so do book on to those rides too.   Heather our Main Breeze Champion will be leading us at a STEADY pace so one can chat along the way. We'll be back at The Hub in time to enjoy hot drinks, cake and a chance to catch up with what everyone else has been doing.   If you're joining us from a different directions then please just make your way to the Cycle Hub and link with the Cycle Hub team. Do bring your husbands / partners / children / friends and family to join in with the Family Day at Watford Cycle Hub whilst the riders are out. Please check the weather forecast before you set off and dress appropriately. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. Please also bring a drink for the ride. Do like our Facebook page to keep up to date with the latest information: Breeze Network Herts   Bring along some money for any Christmas cycling purchases & any food or drinks on offer. For more information on other rides taking place in the Watford Area or if you have any questions about the ride email [email protected]   We look forward to seeing you there! Heather Allen & Kate Jenkins   Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce: - one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, - a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, - a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
