Starting from - Ladies, join us to celebrate 11 years of Breeze rides, our Queens official birthday and a belated Platinum Jubilee celebration. All in all, it’s a mass celebration of women so we want as many women as possible to join us.

We'd love you to bedeck your bikes, and yourselves if you can, with anything remotely royal. Wear a fake crown on your helmet, put on your best red, white, and blue clothing and (safely) deck out your bikes with streamers of Union Jack flags, or whatever else you have to hand. Of course, if you can't do that, just join us anyway as the kind folks at Delamere Forest are making us a Breeze 11-year celebratory cake, and who doesn't like cake?

CW8 2JD - We'll meet up at Tracs Bike Hire and Shop, which is just behind the Delamere Cafe / Admin building

NOTE: British weather can be unpredictable, which can result in rides being cancelled last minute. To be kept fully in the loop, join our Whatsapp group for ride updates (info below) or, check your email on the day for last minute information. No email/message, means the ride is still going ahead.

From the B5152, at the train station, turn and follow the sign for Go Ape Forest Centre. After 0.5 mile, continue onto the carpark. To the right of the carpark is the Tracs shop.

In case of problems on the day (weather, mechanicals etc), we have a Breeze Whatsapp chat which you can be added to. If you would like to be added please send your name and mobile number to [email protected]. This will allow us to communicate with each other pre ride, and also allows us to keep you up to date with future rides. This information will not be shared (you'll be added by first name only) and you can request to be removed at any time.

If you want to be in the loop for all future rides with us, like and follow our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/BreezeDelemereForest. It's filled with general info, past ride photos and information on upcoming rides and relevant dates. CW8 2JD

Starting point




Cheshire
CW8 2JD

We'll be riding a 7 mile route around the forest. Most of it is flat and easy to ride but some small sections may be a little muddy due to ongoing tree felling works. This is nothing that can't be managed by using an easy gear and keeping the pedals turning.

There is also one small hill that some may need to walk. If you need to get off and walk on these small sections, that's perfectly acceptable so please don't let that put you off joining us. Even slow cyclists are lapping the folks lounging on their sofas.

In general, the route is non-technical so all bikes are suitable, although, if it's rained, the skinny tyres of a road bike may not be the best. There is no need to be super experienced or amazingly fast as the plan is to have a social ride at the speed of the slowest rider. We're out to have fun, cycle, chat and of course, eat cake.

Oh, but I don't have a suitable bike I hear you say. Well, we meet at Tracs cycle hire where you can hire a bike for approx. £25. Follow this link for more information - https://www.delamerebikes.co.uk/

The ride is anticipated to take approx. 70 minutes, but allow up to 2 hours if you plan to join us at the café.

Don't forget to bring a spare innertube, snack bar, a warm layer and maybe a waterproof layer if the weather isn't so great. Money for the café stop is essential.
