A special ride today in memory of Billie Fleming. In 1938, this inspirational woman rode 29,603 miles around the UK and set the women's record for distance cycled in a single year. Already many miles have been covered by different riders to cycle the routes Billie rode way back in 1938 and is ongoing until the end of the year. Our ride on 15th February is a chance for you to ride like Billie. The plan is to get as many women or girls in every county on their bike, so our ride will put East Yorkshire on the map! We will take the back roads to Beverley and visit Cafe Velo for our usual coffee, cake and chat, so please remember to bring some money for refreshments. As with all our rides, it is always advisable to wear a helmet and check the weather forecast, so you come suitably dressed for the conditions. Don't forget a water bottle and make sure your cycle bag includes spare inner tubes and levers. If we have to cancel our ride due to adverse weather conditions, we will endeavour to contact all registered participants beforehand. However, there is always a Breeze Chamption at the venue start in case anyone turns up on the day. Help us make this a special day...in memory of Billie.
