Get some fresh air and meet some new people by joining this steady ride round the local villages. Breeze rides are designed to be informal, social and flexible and can fit around you.  We recognise that spending quality time with your children can be a huge part of the enjoyment of cycling, so if you would like to bring them along then they will always be welcome.  However, please ensure they are capable of completing this long ride and note that you are responsible for the safety and welfare of your child at all times.  Children must be competent on the road to join this ride. We’ll meet at De Lacey Academy at 1.50pm in the front car park for a warm up and a quick bike check. Then we’ll head out towards Darrington passing Mid Yorkshire golf club along the way.   We’ll take a quick break in Darrington to catch our breath before heading towards Kirk Smeaton passing Castle Hill Wood along the way, from there we will loop back towards Womersley were if the cafe is still open we can stop at the Tea room for a chat and a drink or bite to eat before heading back to the school. This route is all roads and lanes, which are used by motorist, farmers and other cyclists. It is not flat but we wouldn’t say it was very difficult. But be assured, you will not be left behind. Wear comfortable suitable clothing, a helmet, and remember to bring some money if you want to buy refreshments at the café. Newcomers are always very welcome, but if you lack confidence and would like to practice your bike skills before heading out on the roads with us, may we recommend our Ladies bike school held at De Lacey Academy on Monday nights 7.20.
