Breeze Bike Rides in Torbay

Worried about riding on the road but would love to ride your bike?

Come and join us for a women’s only ride around Torbay Velopark.

A brand new, beautifully smooth tarmac track for you to ride around, get exercise and fresh air, and chat to friends. Breeze rides are always friendly and are great for making new friends to cycle with.

The circuit is 1.5 km and you can do as many laps as you like.

Please bring a drink with you as cycling is thirsty work.

Pick up hints and tips from our Breeze Champions – all British Cycling qualified ride leaders.

Please note that there is a charge of £2 for using the track so this Breeze Ride isn’t free of charge.

Changing facilities and showers available at the Leisure centre and we can have a coffee there in the café after the ride.

If driving to the track, parking is on Torbay Leisure Centre car park. This is pay and display.

ps. At the end of the session, Mike Radant will be running a session on changing an inner tube at the side of the road. Please note you will need tyre levers, a spare inner tube and a pump if you want to join in on this session. Rubber gloves are also a good idea if you want to keep your hands clean. Please email me on michele3@btinternet.com if you would like to book on this session.

We look forward to seeing you there. If you need my phone number on the day it’s 07974 651543.

  • Michele Radant Michele Radant Hi

    I'm a mum of 3 and grandma of 2 who works as a Cycling Officer for Torbay Council, teaching Bikeability

    I love riding my bike and teaching kids to be confident on theirs. I'm also a passionate believer that more people would love cycling if they had a little more confidence.

    I especially would love to see more women out on their bikes. It's great to cycle in a group of women having a good natter and a nice tea stop with coffee and cake.

    If you would like to know more about what our Breeze rides involve please feel free to call me on 07974651543
