BIKING BELLES, Chichester and District Ladies Cycling Club (TM), incorporating Charity Belles: 15/05/2011

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!

Boot Camp, Wednesday May 18

Angela and myself decided to try out the Fitness First Boot Camp in Bognor last night, which took place in West Park.

Despite the session taking place in an area the size of four football pitches Angela managed to find the only dog 'doodoo' in the whole place. After completing one of the many sessions of stomach crunches we could all smell something not very nice.....Angela had laid in the doodoo! Stella, another one of the participants ran off to her car and found a box of Wet Wipes for her.

I'm so glad I carry my camera with me at all times, it's so very useful!

Well, I suppose it makes a change to Angela falling off her bike! Watch this space for further developments....
