Breeze Bike Rides in Waltham Forest
Lea Valley (Women and women with children) Do you love the idea of a gentle bike ride in the countryside? Do your children enjoy riding their bikes as well? Well, come along to this Breeze ride when we will be cycling through the wonderful Lea Valley, dressed in all its gorgeous autumnal colours and enjoying each others’ company. A great way to make new friends and there will be a cafe stop near the end of the ride.
Check the weather before you leave http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/8 and bring your bike and bike lights, suitable clothes (your warmest gloves, if it’s cold!), a pannier or small backpack, water, a small snack and some change for a cup of tea at the cafe.
If there is any further information about this ride or you have any questions, you can contact us through Facebook at http://en-gb.facebook.com/#!/groups/BreezeEastLondon/
Location
The meeting point is the car park at the bottom of Coppermill Lane, on your left just before you go under the railway bridge. You can see the meeting point on the link below where there is a P (for car park), just beside Coppermill Playing Field http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=535403&y=188477&z=0&sv=E17+7HQ&st=2&pc=E17+7HQ&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf If you don’t know where Coppermill Lane is, go to the bottom of the High Street, E17 (i.e. Walthamstow Market) and just continue straight on – you will find you are on Coppermill Lane. The houses will suddenly run out and you go past a few reservoirs. After that, you will go round a few bends before you get to the car park on your left. We will be waiting for you there in our red Breeze jackets.

Hello
My name is Lisa and I love cycling. I've cycled on and off for years but only started cycling again properly 2 years ago when I wanted to get fit after having some health problems. Cycling in London is much more enjoyable now than it used to be as there are lots of quiet routes and many more cyle lanes. I commute into central London 3 times a week and also go on lots of recreational rides. I have really enjoyed Skyrides as they are great way of discovering new routes in a safe environment, making new friends and finding out what other cycling opportunities are around.
When the chance to train as Breeze ride leader came up, I jumped at it as it seemed a good way of passing on my enjoyment of cycling to others who are maybe new to cycling or have not cycled for a while. As I also enjoy reading, I thought it would be fun to combine the two and start a Breeze Bookclub, the idea being that we will chat about books while riding round somewhere safe and pleasant and making new friends.
If I have time, I would also like to do some "local roads" Breeze rides, helping women to find the quiet routes in their local area and I am hoping to start these some time in 2012.
