About This Event

A 9-mile flat cycling route to Colwick Lakes is scheduled for 31 October 2026, departing from Nottingham Railway Station. This event is designed as a women-only ride. No cost is associated with participation.

Join us for an easy-going jaunt over to Colwick Lakes, this is mostly flat route of around 9 miles long and is a ride for women only.

Come along on our Saturday ride for women only, we'll be taking a slightly longer, but still leisurely 9 mile bike ride out to Colwick Lakes Country Park via the new Waterside Bridge. This is a great ride for all cyclists as it is very flat and we'll be using lots of easy going off-road sections, cycle paths and quiet back roads. Please note, the route might be extended to take in some of the Halloween Rooftop Monsters once the locations are published.

We welcome women of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, we ride at the pace of the slowest rider, stop for breaks whenever you want and promise you will never be alone at the back!
