Billie Fleming Tribute

More UK wide Ride Like Billie events have now been planned. These are suitable for everyone whatever your standard. Billie's Birthday Ride will now take place over three days from 11th April to her actual birthday on 13th April 2015. Billie Fleming, who died in May 2014 aged 100, has a unique place in the history of cycling. In 1938, she cycled every day and set the women's world record for the greatest distance cycled in a single year. Born in Camden, London in April 1914, she developed a passion for cycling when she met a boy at a youth club who rode a bike and he taught her how to ride. Dress appropriately for the weather: in cool weather it's good to wear lots of thin layers, so you can add/remove them as needed; a rain jacket is a good idea too! Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don't have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Look forward to seeing you there!
