Billie Fleming Tribute Ride - Birstall Circular

Meet in the lower car park of Oakwell Hall Country Park, Nutter Lane, Birstall, Kirklees, West Yorkshire, WF17 9LG This ride is in tribute to Billie Fleming, who as part of her epic year long ride in 1938, covering 29,604 miles, is reported to have visited a cycle shop at 44 Huddersfield Road Birstall on this date in that year. I'm not sure of the distance travelled then, and we certainly won't be matching it, but it would be very satisfying to add our combined mileage to the sum being accumulated by other women throughout this very special year. For full information try www.tributetobillie.co.uk We ride at an easy pace, and no one gets left behind! We are out to enjoy ourselves. I would advise that you bring a drink and a snack for top ups along the way, also some money for refreshments when we stop. Newcomers to Breeze rides are very welcome. Dress appropriately for the weather: several thin layers are best and a rain jacket could come in handy. Wearing a helmet is advisable, though not essential. The towpath can get very muddy after rain, so please bear this in mind when choosing what to wear for the ride My number on the day is :- 07940 975 971 I look forward to you joining us.
