Breeze Challenge Ride for Women - Dunham Dauphiné

Breeze Bike Rides in Wigan

Breeze Challenge Ride for Women

If you’ve been riding a road bike for a while and perhaps been thinking about joining a cycling club, these rides – brand new for 2013 – are for you. The prospect of a speedy pace over 25 - 40 miles, and the strong likelihood of some hills thrown in along the way, means our Ride Strong Plus rides are not for the faint-hearted.

Join us for a ladies only ride starting from Stone Cross Park, Lowton.  Approximately over a 1000ft of total ascent, taking in the breath taking views as you enter Cheshire countryside.  This ride is approximately 30 miles in total and geared up for road bikes or bikes with road tyres.  The route takes in cycle lanes and roads with a busy section on the A56.  A rest stop will be in Dunham Massey travelling through the country roads of Cheshire.

Helmets are advised to be worn during the ride and also wear suitable clothing taking account of the weather.  It's advisable to bring along an inner tube just in case of punctures as it isn't always easy to fix on the trail with a puncture repair kit.

There will be an opportunity to buy a drink and snack at the cafe so please bring some money along if you wish to use the cafe.

Meet the Champions

• Sandra Green Hi I am Sandra Green, I have been riding for a few years on a mountain bike but have always found myself tagging along with guy groups. I have recently branched out in to road riding having completed my first sportive late in 2012. This is my second year as a Sky Ride Leader and I really enjoy meeting new people, trying different routes and getting out with like minded people on a bike. I have also been running Ladies Only Breeze rides in Wigan for the passed three years and always keen to get more ladies out on a bike, enjoying the social aspect as well as getting fit and meeting new friends. If you would like more information on Breeze Wigan email me: breezenetworkwigan@gmail.com.

• Louise Head Just over a year ago I was looking to join a cycling group. I saw the TV advertisement for sky rides - where will your bike take you? I joined in and throughly enjoyed the rides. I was introduced to Breeze rides by a skyride leader - since then I've never looked back, fun, friendship and fitness. The rides have been so much fun. I've met so many lovely people and my fitness has definitely improved! With a bit of gentle persuasion from Breeze Champion Sandra, I have trained as a Champion and I'm looking forward to meeting you and riding alongside. That's where my bike took me. Hope your bike takes you to one of our Breeze rides.
