This Christmas me and fellow Breeze leader Ana Jojic  decided to celebrate the festive season with a sunny Breeze ride around Milton Keynes, followed by some cake at the Chain Reaction bicycle festival.

Location
Milton Keynes, England

Heart route

Cycle your heart out
The heart route took us from the Theatre district  to sheep filled Campbell Park, past the canal and on to Willen Lake for some fantastic views of the Milton Keynes skyline. The surprisingly warm weather made it feel almost like autumn!

Homemade cake and coffee at the Chain Reaction bicycle festival was the perfect place to finish our ride. A cool under cover market of locally hand made goods, sold from bicycles, hosted by MK Festival Fringe!

Thanks so much to all the ladies that joined the ride, and to Ana for helping to it with me!

Congratulations to Maja Dunn for winning the prize draw for my handmade Cycle Your Heart Out 'Freedom' Pendant!

Happy good Friday everyone! Following the same heart route as the snowy Breeze ride in February, we celebrated this Easter with a fun heart route around the lakes of Milton Keynes!

Location
 Furzton Lake, Milton Keynes in England

Heart route
5.5 mile

Starting at Furzton Lake this gentle route took us through the parks of Shenley Brook End into Loughton and passed the fields of beautiful horses. We then cruised past Teardrop lake and followed parts of the great Millennium cycle route alongside the National Bowl.

Despite the heavy rain and lack of sunshine, Richmond's first ever Cycle Your Heart Out Breeze ride was a huge success! The ride took us around one of the largest Royal Parks in London, with some deer spotting thrown in too!

For Theresa Hughes from Watford, this ride was quite special to her...

"I lost both my mum and dad to heart disease, as it's St Patrick's and Mother's day this weekend, I thought this heart ride was a really nice tribute to my Irish mum"

To help dry ourselves off we enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate at the cosy Roebuck pub overlooking the beautiful Richmond hill.
