Ride like Billie

Billie Fleming held the world record for the most miles cycled in a single year: in 1938 she cycled every day for a year, covering 29,604 miles. Billie wanted to inspire one million more women to cycle: the Billie Fleming Tribute Ride was set up to deliver her legacy. Find out more at www.tributetobillie.co.uk Sunday 15th February is the first Ride like Billie Day: women all over the UK will join in a social ride in Tribute to Billie. On February 15th 1938, Billie cycled 13 miles making social calls. This ride will be 13 miles too. We will meet at the Wiggle Click and Collect store, within Homebase at the far end of St Albans Retail Park, Griffiths Way, St Albans. Wiggle are offering a free bike check to all participants booked on this ride. We will take the traffic free, tarmacked Alban Way (Route 61) to Hatfield. This is the former Hatfield / St Albans branch line of the Great North Railway. It is virtually flat. We will stop for half an hour for tea & cake at Costa Coffee in the Galleria (optional) then return along the Alban Way to St Albans. Don't forget to bring a bike lock & some money if you want refreshments.
