New women riders welcome
Sarah writes: We're always excited to welcome more women into our cycling community. Whether you are completely new to riding in a group or just looking for friendly faces to ride with, you'll be supported from the start.
If you'd like a bit of extra confidence on your first few rides, Yasmin or I would be delighted to be your buddy to help you settle in, answer questions and make sure you feel comfortable and included.
