Lakeside coffee/picnic

This is an easy ride visiting the Eastleigh Lakeside centre. The cafe there is fairly basic so we thought if the weather is good we could just bring a snack and drink and have a break sitting outside, if you prefer. Our pace will be slow and steady to allow everyone to get to know each other and gain confidence cycling with the group. The route is circular and we’ll use cycle paths as much as possible. We'll always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no-one is left behind. We really welcome newcomers to our rides. They are aimed to get us out on our bikes - whether it's months or years since you've ridden a bike, in a supportive atmosphere. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Any type of bike is suitable as long as it's in good working order. You may wish to bring a spare tube in case of a puncture. The Breeze Champions will help with any mechanical problems as far as they are able, but are not trained or insured to mend your bike. If the weather is very wet the ride will be cancelled, but a leader will be at the start to advise accordingly. Car parking at the station is free. Look forward to seeing you there.
