Sofa to Saddle #4 - Weston Park

Our Sofa to Saddle series is a set of six rides aimed at beginners, nervous cyclists or those who haven’t been on a bike for years. The focus of these rides is to build confidence, meet other likeminded ladies and to eat cake. These are short rides, gradually increasing in distance and we will aim to ride at 10-11mph.

Our fourth ride sees the distance increase a little more, however we will continue to ride at the same pace as the shorter rides in this series. We will leave Newport via Pave Lane and will continue on country lanes until we reach Weston Park where we will stop in The Granary Bakery for tea and cake. There are a couple of small hills along this undulating route but you will be supported at all times by our British Cycling trained Breeze Champions. We will travel at the pace of the slowest rider and no one will be left behind.

This is a new route for the group and a lovely opportunity for those looking to increase their distances and confidence. More experienced riders who are looking for a gentle social ride are also welcome to join.

Road bikes or hybrid bikes with road tyres are suitable for this ride. Please bring a spare inner tube suitable for your bike and don’t forget some pennies for the cake stop. All riders must wear a cycle helmet.
