Entirely traffic free ride through Llandaff fields and Bute Park. The exact route will vary depending on participants, the weather and other activities. We will aim to start promptly at 10.00 so turn up slightly earlier if you can.

Covid-19 measures in place for the safety of us all: * If you, or anyone in your household, or contacts have had any symptoms of Covid-19, ie new persistant cough, or fever or loss of taste or smell, in the last 14 days, or if you feel unwell in any other way, then please do not sign up. I will also need you to confirm to me at the ride start that you and your household are symptom free. * If you are in the extremely vulnerable category or have been told to self-isolate Welsh Cycling recommends you do not participate in activities * Please maintain social distancing of a minimum of 2 metres 'head to head' at all times from each other and from members of the public, where it is safe to do so, especially when stopping at junctions, crossings, hazards and when off the bikes. * Bring your own hand gel/wipes and drink if possible. If you have any questions, please either 'message ride creator' through Lets Ride, or post it on the ride conversation tab. Regular Friday beginners rides. The plan is to meet every Friday at Pedal Power and take a short ride around Llandaff Fields and Bute Park, possibly taking in the new traffic free path by the Castle and alongside North Road. Entirely traffic free and perfect for new riders or those who haven’t been on a bike for a while. Regular cyclists are also welcome too maybe you just fancy a spot of fresh air and good company on your lunchbreak. The distance is very much an estimate and will probably vary from week to week. We will go at the pace of the slowest rider, although if we have more than one Breeze Champion on the ride we will be able to split the group if needed.

Entirely traffic free ride through Llandaff fields and Bute Park. The exact route will vary depending on participants, number of leaders, the weather and other activities in the park.

We will take it steady, but no stops are planned.

Bring your bike or contact Pedal Power (https://www.cardiffpedalpower.org/locations-and-opening-times) to hire one. Or you could use a Next Bike (nearest hire stations are Sophia Gardens or by Café Castan). Clothing appropriate for the weather and money for the café stop are all you need. As well as the ride we can chat about all things relating to cycling in Cardiff such as routes, equipment etc.

First-timers welcome!
