Self care doesn't have to mean spa days or big gestures. It can be a coffee on your own. A walk around the block. Switching your phone off for an hour.
The small stuff counts. More than you think.

Today’s Ride = New Route, Exploring and Building Confidence🚴‍♀️
Our planned loop took a detour after a bike problem – but that didn’t stop us. From Benfield, through Gosforth, Jesmond, Armstrong Bridge and Heaton… confidence was built every pedal of the way.

✨ Riding together = safer, stronger, more fun.
✨ Skills built = signalling, awareness, communication.
✨ Outcome = confidence and connection.

Want to give it a go?
📍 Benfield Sports Centre
📅 Sat 4th October, 9.30–12.00
🚲 Free bike & helmet, or bring your own

Today’s Led Ride – Building Confidence, Community & Connection

Our led ride today didn’t quite go to plan – but that’s the beauty of what we do. After setting off towards Gosforth, a bike issue meant we switched routes, heading through Jesmond and back via Armstrong Bridge and Heaton.

We always have options up our sleeve, so the ride still went ahead safely, with plenty of chances to practise signalling, traffic awareness and group cycling.

✅ Small, supportive group
✅ Great weather
✅ Exploring our local area in good company

It’s not about the perfect route – it’s about growing in confidence, staying active and enjoying time together.

📅 Fancy joining us? Our next free ride is Saturday 4th October, 9.30am–12.00pm from Benfield Sports Centre.
