New to cycling or just need a confidence boost? Then come and join us at the Brooksbank Cycle Circuit in Elland. The circuit is a 750 metre tarmac circuit and provides a high quality, traffic-free cycling environment. This free session is to give women the opportunity to build their confidence and to get on a bike in a safe environment. If you have not ridden for a while then come a long and we will help give you the confidence to get back on a bike. For others of you it might be to simply show you the social side of Breeze so might just involve riding the circuit and having a chat. You can do 1 lap or you can do 100, it is up to you, the female Breeze Champions will be there to give you useful tips and advice, we will even cycle around the track with you if you need us to. If anyone wants to go a little faster you are welcome to ride around at your own pace, it is your hour, feel free to use it to suit your needs (please note racing will not be permitted). If you have your own bike please bring this along, however if you don’t have access to a bike, Calderdale Council are providing a number of bikes for use, free of charge. Anybody who needs to hire a bike for the session can do so by emailing Steve Pullan at Calderdale Council on the following email address by the latest of 3pm Friday the 19th Feb:- [email protected] Places for the circuit Breeze rides are limited and owing to popularity must be booked in-advance. Optional extra: - following the Breeze ride (at 1.15pm), Calderdale Council and go:cycling are offering a free one hour female coaching cycling session at the circuit with a local female qualified coach. The session is available to any lady whether participating in the Breeze ride or not. The coached session will cater for ladies of all fitness abilities who would like to gain extra advice to build confidence and improve riding skills (free bike hire will be available during the coached session). Both the Breeze ride and the coaching are free of charge, but as the coaching is not managed and delivered by British Cycling you must book places separately from your Breeze booking by emailing: [email protected] (places will be available on a first come first serve basis).
