About this Event

Join us on a gentle and inclusive bike ride by the River Trent and Nottingham Canal including a trip over Nottingham's latest bridge linking Lady Bay with Colwick. We will stop for a cuppa at the end of the ride at the 1881 Cafe (our treat!). We welcome women and non-binary folk of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

This ride will be on traffic-free cycle paths and is entirely flat. We will go at a very steady pace, with a ride leader guiding the group, and a second guide at the back, so no one will be left behind. The ride will go at the pace of the slowest rider, so is suitable for those that haven't ridden for a while or are still gaining their confidence; we stop for breaks or a snack whenever you want.

You can bring your own bike, or if you need to borrow one, please contact Emily at Women in Tandem: [email protected] or 07511502741. Please let us know by Friday 3rd July if you need to borrow a bike.

MEETING POINT: Victoria Embankment car park, Wilford Grove, NG2 2AA (it is just off Victoria Embankment, next to the children's play area. Click here for a Google pin.

TIME: meet at 9.45, ready to ride at 10am.

ROUTE: to be confirmed once the bridge is open!

You won’t need anything fancy, just comfortable weather-appropriate clothing and some enthusiasm for cycling! Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you to join this ride, or if you have any questions, please get in touch we would love to hear from you.

This ride is organised by Women in Tandem, a Community Interest Company based in Nottingham that aims to support and empower women to ride bikes. The session is funded by The Cycling UK Big Bike Revival, and they have asked us to securely collect names and emails (as registered on Eventbrite) in order to send you a follow up survey about your cycling habits: let us know if you do not want your email address passed on.
