Women only Breeze Rides are all about fun, friendly, informal bike rides led by women, for women. They're ideal for all abilities and are great for building confidence and getting some gentle exercise. You might not have ridden a bike for a while and be looking for the easiest way to get back in the saddle, or be looking for a sociable way of getting out and about in your local area. Breeze rides are gently-paced, not too long, and often take in a stop for coffee or a cake. Kids are welcome to come along too.

Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

Breeze Bike Rides in Blackpool

Ladies, ladies, ladies! If you are looking at a challenge for 2013 why not join us on our training rides in preparation for the Manchester to Blackpool in July 2013. 


Our training rides are approximately 20 miles and take around 2 hours to complete. Heading south up to Lytham then heading back into Blackpool. This is a fast ride and is really only for experienced cyclists. We do stop off for a posh coffee but like to keep the speed fairly consistent.


Thermal base layers are recommended at this time of the year, high vis jackets and waterproofs also come in handy!


I will try and hold a training ride every 2 weeks in preparation! We can increase distances later into the year when the nights start to draw out.


Look forward to seeing you there!

  • Victoria Easley Victoria Easley Hi, I have been cycling now since November 2011, lost 4 stone in weight and have cycled the length and breadth of Blackpool Prom. Just completed the Manchester to Blackpool cycle and feel fit, healthy and happy from cycling. I cycle to meet new people, make friends and get out and about, I enjoy coastal cycles and countryside cycles. I am self employed so have to cycle in afternoons or on evenings. I like leisurely rides for a good chat but also enjoy a steady paced cycle too. I am happy cycling from 5 miles to 30 miles!! Always up for a challenge!!
