Women’s Social Ride – Scenic 19‑mile Country Lanes Loop

This is a women‑only social ride for women who can already ride a bike and have basic confidence on the road but would like a supportive, friendly group to help them build confidence on longer rides.

We’ll be riding a 19‑mile loop almost entirely on quiet country lanes, keeping the pace steady and sociable throughout.

If you’ve been cycling on your own, want to feel more confident on rural roads, or simply enjoy riding with other women, this ride is a lovely next step. We stay together as a group, take regular pauses, and no one is ever left behind.

What to Expect:

A steady, chatty pace suitable for riders with some road experience

Mostly quiet country lanes with gentle rolling terrain

A supportive, welcoming atmosphere

Regular regroup points

A great confidence‑building ride for women returning to cycling or progressing their distance

Led by a women’s ride leader from Beacon Roads Cycling Club
