Hello ladies. I am Back!
Its Swan Wheelers Spring equinox ride this Sunday.
We have been invited to join the club for this ride.
Each ride Leader plans a route to suit their riders, different speeds, and distances to arrive at the café at the same time to enjoy a social get together with refreshments, paid for by the club, or in this months case by British Cycling as a thanks to the Swan Wheelers for their encouragement and support of the Breeze team (that’s us).
So please join me in a slow steady ride to Claydon House and back on Sunday
We ride as a group and no-one is ever left behind so please don’t worry if it has been a while since you got on a bike (it’s been 3 months for me!!)
We ride through Gawcott, Lenborough, Verney Junction to Claydon and back the same way.
So…. Dust off those cycles and join me at 8.45 am Sunday morning at the Swan Leisure pool for a lovely social ride with FREE cakes and coffee. Remember a cycle hat, space inner tube to fit your bike, a drink and warm clothes.
A sense of fun and adventure is always good, expect lots of chatter and loads of laughs!

Christmas Breeze ride to The Phoenix Café at Claydon House
This is a ladies only ride.This week we have been invited by Swan Wheelers Cycle Club Buckingham to join their Christmas Club ride to the Phoenix Café at Claydon House. This is a chance to meet up with other riders and enjoy some festive refreshments curtesy of the Swans.
I have planned a 17-mile ride out through Padbury and back through Preston Bissett.
There are some hills but as always, we will ride together leaving no-one behind and have even been known to walk up some of the more challenging hills.
We ride on mainly quiet roads with a large roundabout to navigate.
The weather forecast is for a warmer day than we have had this week but wet so please dress accordingly. There may be a small prize for the most inventive Christmas attire – so let your design skills go wild. Tinsel and bells, Christmas jumpers and hats .
Hope to see you on Sunday
