Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Giuseppe Morrone Giuseppe Morrone Hi there cycling fans and enthusiasts!

    I've been a casual cyclist for the last 15 years however on advice from my doctor to get more exercise I had to choose an activity that could keep me interested. The gym was not the answer. So I turned to cycling as a much more serious hobby. I began training for the Prudential London Surrey Ride 100 last Autumn and have never looked back. I ride mostly on a road bike but I have now found a fondness for mountain biking too.

    I'm a big enthusiast for cycling, its a great way to get around, especially in London, and its a great way to get out and socialise and do something healthy at the same time.

    I look forward to seeing you all on the Skyride!
