Starting from - the St Albans Cycle Hub at the Cottonmill Community and Cycling Centre, Old Oak, off Cottonmill Lane. It is not easy to find - although the big sign is now up on Cottonmill Lane, which helps, the small entrance road is often obscured by parked cars.
Please arrive in good time to allow for cycle checks and a ride briefing before we go. The Hub will possibly not be open for any last minute pumping up of tyres, so do your checks the day before. There will the possibility of coffee and snacks in the community centre after the ride.
The postcode is, AL1 2EF

Have you resolved to get out on your bike... but it's been a while and you feel a bit nervous? This women-only ride is created for you!

It will also count for the British Cycling Winter Challenge - if you take part in four Breeze, Guided Rides or Community Group rides throughout January and February you will receive a virtual ‘Winter Challenge’ badge which can be shared on social media. Additionally, British Cycling will have a fortnightly prize draw during the challenge.

This is the fourth ride in this series and is slightly longer and so is 'steady', but pace will be relaxed. Much of the route is traffic-free, there are some sections on quieter roads and country lanes. A road bike should cope, there is one fairly bumpy section though, and if you ride a road bike this ride is probably a bit slow for you.

Covid-19 is still with us, please respect the vulnerability of others. Don't come if you or people close to you have or might have Covid - there will be another ride another day! We'll be sensible and sensitive regarding social distancing, face covering and use of hand-gel.

First-timers welcome!
