Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Christine Keen Christine Keen
  • Tony Lenihan Tony Lenihan If you’ve got this far then you are well on the way to joining me on a Sky Ride and having a great time!!
    I’m Tony and I have been cycling all of my life-in fact I can’t remember a time when I haven’t owned a bike. Or two. Or three! My philosophy is simple-cycling is all about having fun.Losing weight, getting fit, making friends, feeling a sense of achievement and helping the environment are all happy side effects of that.
    If you are a new or returning cyclist then I know it can be a bit daunting, but cycling is the most accessible sport-you really don’t need to spend a fortune on a bike, or be a vision in Lycra ,or even know your chain from your cranks-just come along, join in and enjoy yourself .I guarantee that,as you ride along there will be a point,with the sun on your face and a few miles under your belt ,when you break out in a smile without even realising it!
    Sky Rides are a really great way of getting some fresh air and racking up a few miles in a safe environment with qualified Ride Leaders alongside you all the way
    Hope to see you on a ride very soon
