International Womens Day Ride - Milton Keynes

To celebrate women's cycling we are inviting women from around Milton Keynes to join us on an International Women's Day ride.

There will be a range of different types of rides available to suit a range of preferences and abilities.

This event welcomes all women and will be a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

The event is being organised by Cycling Citizens MK which is an Alliance of organisations and employers in Milton Keynes who share a common interest in getting more people cycling.

The event is being hosted by Trek Bicycles, a member of the Alliance and is being run in partnership with

local cycling group, Broughton Cycling Group,
Breeze (a women's cycling group part of British Cycling), and
Ride and Shine (a local women's cycling network).
Milton Keynes CTC (part of Cycling UK)
WHAT RIDES ARE BEING OFFERED

An easy and social redway ride of around 5km (approx. an hour) around Willen Lake. Suitable for all abilities. Hosted by Ride and Shine (an MK women's cycling network)
A slightly longer (approx 15km - 1.5 hours) Breeze ride - the ride is traffic free and will be a social ride along the canal and through the Ouzel Valley.
