Winchester Breeze Round the Park for Beginners

Are you new to cycling? Do you feel nervous in traffic? Don't worry if you are wobbly - this ride is perfect for you.

This will be a gentle ride with the aim of increasing your confidence. As I am also a British Cycling Coach I should be able to answer your questions and can give coaching points if needed.

COVID-19 - The ride will be led with 2m social distancing, in line with current government guidance. Please follow the advice given by the ride leader to protect yourself and other participants.

Please do not attend the ride if you are feeling unwell or if you have been asked to isolate by the track and trace system. Please cancel your place with as much notice as possible if you are unable to attend as places are limited.

It is not advisable for anyone classed as vulnerable to participate in a group activity at the present time.

In addition to the usual requirements below, please bring a mask (you don't need to wear it while riding), hand sanitiser, disposable gloves (if possible) and tissues for your own use.

The route is traffic free using the paths in and around Riverpark. We may head out along the path/road past the rugby club, or onto the very quiet streets in Hyde depending on how we feel.

This ride will be mostly traffic free so suitable if you are completely new to cycling, not ridden for a while, or just want to build your confidence before riding out on the roads.

There won't be a coffee stop on this ride, but we will take it at your pace and rest if we need to.

Please bring a helmet and a drink and dress appropriately for the weather. Any bike will do as long as it is in working order.

Perfect for first-timers!
