Meet the Ride Leaders

• Paul Cheers Hi there. 2013 will be my first year as a Sky Ride Leader but I'm very much looking forward to it, and can't wait to get out on as many rides as possible with you all.
  
  I've been cycling regularly since 2008. I fell back in love with cycling as a result of the rapid rise in fuel prices at the time and obtaining a nice bike on the Cycle To Work Scheme. The rest is history, and I've never looked back.
  
  I started out commuting to save money, get fit and lose weight, and now regularly take part in Sportives and charity events. I now love nothing more than jumping on my road bike, and hitting the open country roads around my home for a few hours. However, I also enjoy just as much, hitching the trailer up to my hybrid and tootling off around my local cycle paths and parks with my family.
  
  My cycling goals for this year was to complete the Ride London 100 in a respectable time which I did recently by posting a ride time of 4hrs 54mins for the 100 miles; and to get as many of you having fun cycling.
  
  If I can do it so can you, so why not come along an join us, and let's see what cycling has in store for you :-) See you soon. Paul
