Our Breeze Sunday Training Ride is one in a series of fortnightly road training rides. The intention is to support participants in gaining confidence, fitness and technique by riding on the road. For Sunday's ride there are two options: a 30-miler starting from Stamford at 08:30 (PE9 2SS) or a 15-miler starting from Normanton, Rutland Water, at 09:15 (LE15 8HD). Please note that you will have to pay for parking at Normanton. Alternatively you may find a parking space along the road at Edith Weston.

The ride will take between 2.5 and 4 hours, depending on which option you choose. We will stop for a coffee break at the end of the 15 mile loop from Normanton.

NB This is an intermediate ride with a few hills (we rise 1000 feet on the Normanton loop) but we never leave anyone behind!

We ride from Stamford via Ketton to Rutland Water. The ride from Normanton takes in Lyndon and Wing, before heading south to Harringworth and back up to Normanton via the Luffenhams. From Normanton we will return to Stamford via Empingham and Tickencote.

Join us whether you are training for a particular event, whether you want to practise riding in a group or whether you just want a fun cycle with a group of like-minded women!

This is a 35-mile, undulating/hilly route starting from Stamford and moving in a figure of eight before returning to Stamford, providing a steady road training ride.

After leaving the town of Stamford, the ride heads out on quiet country roads with very little traffic, before returning to Stamford.

We will stop to take on water and will also stop for a coffee break at the garden centre in Little Bytham.

Please bring a helmet, water, some snacks (although we will stop for a coffee, so bring some money too!). Gloves are advisable and it's worth wearing layers and bringing a light raincoat.

We never leave anyone behind
