COULD there be anything better for the heart and soul than a casual bike ride with good company along a beautiful track, with the sound of gears humming, spokes turning and good-natured chatter to fill the air?

In conjunction with Jean Hailes Womens Health Week, the Greater Shepparton Bicycle User Group is inviting women to enjoy a casual bicycle ride on Sunday, September 11.

The Let’s Ride for Women’s Health Week event is not only about promoting cycling for women but also aims to provide an opportunity for local ladies to meet like-minded people in a fun and healthy way.

The casual bike ride will start at Kidstown at 9.30am with participants heading off in small groups, travelling the 5km offroad route to the Botanical Gardens for morning tea. The return journey to Kidstown will be along the same route, completing a 10km loop.

For safety and organisation all participants must register their attendance by calling Catherine on 040 231 3867. Riders must bring their own bikes and helmets (no exceptions), while children are kindly asked to leave this one to the grown-ups only.
