Date: 24th June Location: East London Cause: The Big Breeze Bike Ride & The British Heart Foundation

On the weekend of 23-24 June 2012, Breeze organised the UK’s first ever event to get thousands of women riding a bike at the same time!

So I decided to celebrate this awesome event with a nice scenic 7 mile heart-route all the along the canals of east London! Meeting at Victoria Park we cycled through the scenic Limehouse Basin, historic Three Mills and right past the Olympic stadium!

A huge thank you to all the lovely ladies who took part, including two new Breeze Champions Shahanara and Gita! The sun decided to show it's face and we celebrated at the end with some ice-cream and cake at the Lakeside Pavilion in Victoria Park. 

"I thought my first Breeze ride was awesome, great scenic route. I went past parts of London I've never been to. A great canal ride. It was great in the rain and also the sun and we had really good fun"

It was wonderful, I really enjoyed the day, enjoyed the route. It was a nice pace, not to fast and not too slow. Plenty of eventful things to see, and good company along the way"
