Breeze is currently looking for new champions to lead its rides. You don’t need to be Marianne Vos, you only need to be confident on a bike. More than 1,000 female volunteers organise rides across the country, and the oldest is, Judy Robinson aged 78.

Breeze champions take a one day ride leadership course to learn to plan, deliver and promote rides. In return for delivering an average of 12 rides per year champions get British Cycling ride membership, a Breeze kit and support from Breeze HQ. Details of courses are here.

If there isn’t training in your area get in touch with [email protected] to express an interest – they may be able to set something up for you.
