Hassop Station Near Bakewell

This is a new ride series, ideal for ladies wishing to increase their confidence or fitness on a traffic free route, or like me, an opportunity to spin my legs on an evening with some company. After meeting in the car park in front of the cafe, we'll do a quick bike check, then head off along the trail in the direction of Blackwell Mill. As we pass through several tunnels its a good idea to have working lights on your bike. The plan is to increase our distance as the series progresses and also depending on the participants with a view to riding to the end at Blackwell Mill. We return to the cafe via the same route and as it's slightly downhill on the way back, it is easier! This is a sociable ride, open to all ladies so don't feel that you might not be fit enough or fast enough. With a bit of practice and support, your confidence and fitness will hopefully quickly grow. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don't have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one. Please dress appropriately for the weather and you'll need to bring a drink, snack to keep you going, spare inner tube and puncture repair kit. The cafe is due to start opening until 9pm so there will be the opportunity to have a drink and chat afterwards for those that want so don't forget some cash. If you have any questions for more information on all of our rides please see our Facebook page BreezeNetworkDerbyshire Look forward to seeing you there!
