Our aim.....

Welcome all Ladies to the Biking Belles - Chichester and District Ladies Cycling Club (TM). Formed on August 21, 2010.


Biking Belles: developing the wellbeing, fitness and confidence in ourselves. For women by women.


We meet every weekend and the rides vary in degrees of difficulty and details of the rides are posted well in advance here on the Blog. We always stop halfway for that important cuppa and a slice of cake!

To enjoy our rides you should be fit enough to cycle at least 20 miles. For the timebeing we are referring all Novice / Starter rides to the CDC website. The dates of their rides are noted on this Blog, on the Starter page.


It's been a very exciting first couple of years and we have fulfilled our original aim to introduce more ladies to cycling, improve our fitness and to make new friends.....and to work towards and achieve those once impossible goals.

The BBs have grown and has become an exciting Club to be involved with, in 2012 we formed the Charity Belles fundraising section, raising over £2,000 during our first year. We are proud to have as our patron the Countess of March and Kinrara.

Social Belles meet once a month for a pub supper. An ideal opportunity for anyone interested in joining the BBs to come along and meet us all. It's also a chance for existing BBs to discuss future ideas and plans.

We welcome new members and I hope you enjoy being part of the BB's and that we form a long and happy cycling friendship!

Social Belles - 28/9/12

One of the best evenings the Belles have had and it was lovely to see everyone and good to see so much enthusiasm for the club and cycling in general!

We discussed future rides and challenges - looks like 2013 and 2014 are going to be very busy, what with cycling up mountains and drinking wine in some wonderful locations! Watch this space.....

Thanks to Angie, Anu, Marj, Fiona, Claire, Alison, Noreen, Lynne and Ali for coming along to make this such a great evening.

We met at the Woodmancote (to remember - the parking is difficult and hard to find!).

The next Social Belles will be on Friday October 26 - pop the date in your diary and further details to follow.












Our bill arrived in this pretty red shoe - thanks also to the staff at the Woodmancote, I think we kept them on their toes !

Birthday Belles

Happy 2nd Birthday Biking Belles!

We had a lovely day and we all went to Isle of Wight...enjoy the following photos......


Our prizewinners....Sandra won Best Sideburns!

The runners up were Gill and Tizzie.

Very well done to everyone for their efforts.  There were all sorts of wonderful designs...some made from a dogs toy, mobile phone cover, Sandra knitted her sideburns, spotted material.....brilliant!


The prizegiving ceremony - all three were perched on top of a bench! ....Sandra, Gill and Tizzie.

Thank you to the lovely lady from the Choc Cafe for acting as our judge.


Oops...wobbly bench
