Starting point

YO31 7UZ

Cycle Street, Layerthorpe, York

Welcome to a friendly, women-only cycling group for York. Breeze rides aim to build your confidence and give you the opportunity to get out on your bike with a group of like-minded women to enjoy cycling together for fun. We always take in a coffee stop to give us a chance to get to know each other and work out new rides that suit the group. These rides are led by a qualified British Cycling ride leader and go at the pace of the slowest rider to ensure no-one is ever left behind. Following on from 2 earlier slower paced and shorter distance rides, this ride will be a longer and faster ride than the beginner ones, so we're aiming for 25 miles through rolling hills, with a cafe stop about 5 miles from the finish. We return to Cyclestreet, where Jon and his team are happy to assist with any questions about bike maintenance.  If you are new to cycling and this distance seems a challenge, please look for shorter and slower paced rides for your first journey with us, and you'll soon build the stamina to join the longer rides like this one. If you have a road bike, that would be best, as a mountain bike is heavier, making this type of ride much harder work. However, if you have any queries please email [email protected] or give me a call on 07710718011 and I'll be happy to have a chat. Look forward to seeing you. Nicky
