BIKING BELLES, Chichester and District Ladies Cycling Club (TM), incorporating Charity Belles: Sunday, March 27

Our aim.....

Welcome all Ladies to the Biking Belles - Chichester and District Ladies Cycling Club (TM). Formed on August 21, 2010.

Biking Belles: developing the wellbeing, fitness and confidence in ourselves. For women by women.

We meet every weekend and the rides vary in degrees of difficulty and details of the rides are posted well in advance here on the Blog. We always stop halfway for that important cuppa and a slice of cake!

To enjoy our rides you should be fit enough to cycle at least 20 miles. For the timebeing we are referring all Novice / Starter rides to the CDC website. The dates of their rides are noted on this Blog, on the Starter page.

It's been a very exciting first couple of years and we have fulfilled our original aim to introduce more ladies to cycling, improve our fitness and to make new friends.....and to work towards and achieve those once impossible goals.

The BBs have grown and has become an exciting Club to be involved with, in 2012 we formed the Charity Belles fundraising section, raising over £2,000 during our first year. We are proud to have as our patron the Countess of March and Kinrara.

Social Belles meet once a month for a pub supper. An ideal opportunity for anyone interested in joining the BBs to come along and meet us all. It's also a chance for existing BBs to discuss future ideas and plans.

We welcome new members and I hope you enjoy being part of the BB's and that we form a long and happy cycling friendship!

Sunday, March 27

It was a lovely spring morning today - we had a great turn out again and we welcome new Belle ...Leyla who cycled from Bognor plus Claire, Karen, Mercy, Angela, Elise, Caroline and myself.

We cycled along the Centurion Way towards Lavant then took the left turning towards Chilgrove and we cycled as far as the Fish House and stopped for coffees...no cakes were available so we all pooled our cereal bars!

The Fish House

From the Fish House we cycled up the Chilgrove hill and turned left towards Marden.

East Marden

And from East Marden we followed the pretty lanes towards Compton then to Funtington and back via West Stoke. To note...the cafe in Compton is open on a Sunday.
