Monday’s Mini outing Julie (Solihull Breeze) and myself (South Birmingham Breeze) have just started organising joint Monday outings and if you can’t join us on this ride, for whatever reason, but are interested and available for Monday rides in the future please contact one of us on the numbers below. We plan to build a programme of rides/outings based on the abilities and interests of the women who want to take part. Each ride will have a shorter version depending which of the 2 start points you choose. Hopefully all will become clear! The main ride starting at 10am from Shirley Park will be 18-20 miles approx - book on the Monday Main outing for this ride. This mini outing group will be the shorter version group(14 miles approx) and will also start at 10.20am from the Car park at Billesley Tennis centre. Our  route will take us on an exploration of cycle paths in parks, along the river Rea, canals and mainly quiet roads taking in a tea/coffee and cake stop around the halfway point. IF YOU PLAN TO START/END YOUR RIDE WITH JULIE IN SHIRLEY PLEASE LOOK FOR AND BOOK “Monday’s Main outing” on the website and do NOT book onto the mini  ride. This ride is for everyone who enjoys cycling and wants to be among like minded women cycling at a relaxed pace, making new friends, exploring the surrounding areas and most importantly stopping for a cake and coffee at the half way point!  In fact if you have any ideas about what you would really like to happen on the ride then please come along and tell us about it. Basically, Julie and I just want to start up a regular Monday cycling ride, we both love cycling! So, please join us and either book onto this ride if you want to start at Billesley at 10.20 o'clock, or book on the Monday Main ride to start with Julie at 10am from Shirley Park.  Hybrid or Mountain bikes would be best as we’ll be using some canal paths, weather/mud permitting! Just remember to bring a spare inner tube and money for a cake! Next week’s ride will be the other way round and slightly longer – main ride from Billesley picking up the shorter ride group from Shirley and heading out towards Packwood/Lapworth.   We look forward to seeing you. Contact either of us if weather looks “iffy” on the day or to talk about Monday outings 077338334271 (Gaye) 07964044889 (Julie) Don’t forget…. Breeze  are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
