Make the most of the spring/summer and get out on your bike!  Meet like minded women and have fun on our very social Breeze bike rides.  This route will take us out on the hills and tracks at the back of Hollingworth Lake.  We’ll continue underneath the motorway bridge and up over the vales for some fresh country air and scenic views! Please be aware there is a huge hill, again there will be a prize for whoever gets the furthest up there without jumping off your bike. Please feel free to walk it though! As this ride is out on the hills, a bike in good working order is required and also would be more suitable to those women who already cycle. A short section of the trail is on a stone track and there is a short section for about 5mins that requires you to dismount and push your bike, it'll give you a chance to catch your breath and admire the lovely scenery! We'll finish for a well deserved rest at the Wine Press pub for a replenishment of fluids and possibly lunch or cake so please bring some money. Don’t do hills? There are also beginner rides taking place over spring and summer please check out the activity finder for more information. Does your bike need a service?  Located nearby in Littleborough is a Breeze awarded female friendly bike shop called the Ride Stuff.  For more information please visit their website or see their Facebook page. When you book onto the ride, please provide a mobile number in case the weather is bad and I need to contact you at short notice.
