BIKING BELLES, Chichester and District Ladies Cycling Club (TM), incorporating Charity Belles: Saturday, October 13

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!

Saturday, October 13

We've been so lucky with the weather.....another sunny morning and we even managed to sit outside the Compton cafe again enjoying their delicious cakes!

This is a lovely ride and always a popular one. From Goodwood we cycled through Lavant, Chilgrove and along through the Mardens (up that nasty hill) and we met quite a few other cyclists at the top of the hill. After a brief chat with them all we made our way down the long stretch to Compton.

These hills aren't the easiest to cycle, but well done to Judy and Ali who worked hard and should be pleased with themselves...it gets easier, I promise!

From Compton, the usual way home and turning left towards Funtingdon, we said goodbye to Fiona and Steph here and Noreen left us at Halidays. A good ride home getting back at about 1pm.

I think everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and it was lovely to see you all again......Marj, Judy, Fiona, Ali, Noreen, Steph, Jane, Caroline and Sandra.

Hope to see you all next week
