Beginner's women's ride around Ravencroft Park and Hadley Green

This ride is for beginners who can pedal and balance, but are looking to build confidence and eventually practise riding on the roads when ready. We are trained ride leaders and will help you practise in the park at a social distance. As people progress we will adjust the distances and places to ride accordingly. Breeze rides are friendly and sociable and no one is ever left behind.

We’ll be starting out in Ravenscroft Park (Black Horse Pub entrance) for a bike check and chat about what we want out of the ride, before we gently start finding our cycling legs with a gentle ride around the park. Once we feel confident to venture further, we can take quiet roads and cycle paths to Hadley Green, past the water tower where we will meander around the Green. Depending on how we are feeling we can either ride on the flat back to Ravenscroft Park or try out a quiet hill on the way.

Bring a drink, hand sanitiser and a snack. No special gear is needed, but please wear non-baggy clothing which won't get caught in the bike. Helmets are recommended but not compulsory.

Any bike is suitable. Before you come please pump up the tyres and ensure that the wheels turn freely and both brakes work. Please have it checked out at a bike shop, or with a friend, if you're not sure. We cannot fix your bike for you on the spot.

An easy, socially-distanced beginner ride for any woman who can ride a bike, but would like to build confidence
