Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Mike Ball Mike Ball Have been cycling for many years both as an all weathers commuter and a member of the Leicester Spokes cycling (http://www.leicesterspokes.org.uk) group. I particularly enjoy cycle touring in Scotland and Europe, and longer rides such as our annual overnight ride from London to Leicester. My ambitions are to cycle across the USA and China, perhaps all the way around the world? I try to use my bike for most trips and want to encourage people to look on bike travel as everyday transport, not just something for the weekend. I look forward to meeting you on a ride.
  • Linda Goddard Linda Goddard Hello,
    I am passionate about encouraging people to get on their bikes. I see Breeze rides and Local Skyrides as a way to do this and to provide fun at the same time. I particularly want to encourage more women to get in the saddle!
    Cycling is not only a way to get fit, but is also good for the environment. Think of the petrol saved!
    It is also a social activity, where you can make new friends and be encouraged along by other riders.
    My aim is to support both new and returning cyclists to gain the confidence to cycle more often.
    I look forward to meeting you on the rides.

  • Lindsey Ball I got back into cycling after completing the Sky Ride in 2011 - I really enjoyed cycling around a traffic free town, and after the event… I was hooked! After the taking part in the Sky Ride I started participating in local Breeze bike rides, and through cycling with Breeze ladies, I have made some lovely friends, found cycle routes and paths (and coffee shops) that I didn't know existed and I now ride my bike regularly both for pleasure and exercise as often as I can. Last year I became a Breeze Champion myself and I've led several Breeze rides since. I like nothing better than to get out and about on my bike, and as my friends will tell you, I love to encourage others to get on their bikes too.
