Let's fill the historic Preston Park cycle track in Brighton (the oldest in the UK) with women! Breeze will be out in force on the afternoon with a red gazebo and several Breeze Champions from the Brighton and Hove area. Come along and chat to the ladies about the rides we've got planned, tell them what yo'd like us to organise to keep you on your bikes through the winter, and have a ride around the traffic free cycle track with them all. Pedal in Preston Park is in it's fourth year, and the annual fundraising event has grown from strength to strength, raising £9,000 so far for MNDA and Martlets. We'd love to get lots of female riders on to the track at once this year, riding around as a big group. We've even got a cycling sound system organised so that we can pedal in time and sing along! There's a Dr.Bike at the event so you can get your bike looked at if it's making a funny noise, and a popular refreshment stand with lots of yummy cakes. It's a real family event, so we're making the Breeze ride one for women and children. If you want to know more about the event, here is the website: http://www.pedalinprestonpark.co.uk/. This is a charity event to raise funds for MNDA & The Martlets Hospice, so although there is no charge a donation would be appreciated

We have also organised a Bike Train to bring riders up from central Brighton in time for our 3pm ride out. No need to book, just meet at The Level at 2:15 (look for the Bike Train leaders in fluoro tabards). Here's the details: http://biketrain.org/events-2/
Wearing a helmet is compulsary in accordance with PPYCC track rules.

You can ride one lap or a hundred, it's up to you! We'll have several Breeze ride leaders on the track for an hour, so we'd love you to join us for however long you can, starting together at 3pm. Look forward to seeing you there! 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, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
