Hi we're Alison and Elaine your local Breeze champions, and are looking to try and help get more women back on your bikes. Newcomers to Breeze rides are very welcome, don't worry if you don't know anyone, we're a friendly bunch. The emphasis on these rides is fun and social, and we ride at the pace of the slowest rider, so no-one gets left behind. Starting from Edington Village Hall, this is a gorgeous ride on some lovely quiet country roads. We start off taking in some of the lovely pretty villages of the Polden Hills before descending to Shapwick Heath where the cycling is traffic free along the river, and arriving at our 1/2 way refreshment break at Shapwick Tea rooms. The return journey, still on lovely quiet country roads, is a little more undulating with a gradual climb back to Ashcott (the cake consumed should help with this!!) and then retracing our steps from Shapwick chuch, back to Edington Village Hall. Dress appropriately for the weather, a rain jacket this time of year is a good idea too! Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don't have one please do not to worry you can still take part. It's a good idea to bring some water. Don't forget to bring a pump and a spare inner tube (just in case). Bring some pennies if you would like refreshments at the cafe. I Look forward to seeing you there! Any questions, please call Alison on 07760662007
