Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Mark Staker Mark Staker Hi,

    I'm Mark, am 38 years old and am far from being the physical shape of a pro rider! I enjoy riding, whether it is Mountain Biking, or Road Riding. This will be my first season as a Sky ride leader, having recently qualified. I have been riding for longer than care to remember, and enjoy riding with mixed ability groups.

    I look forward to seeing you on a ride soon.
  • Colin Goodman Colin Goodman Hi All,
    My name is Colin Goodman and I will be one of your ride leaders today.
    I have been cycling since 2008 after 25 years of not even owning a bike and I am hoping that you will all get the bug the way I have. At 6'3" and 17 stone, hills are not my friends, but ridden with care and a steady pace I seem to get there eventually. My idea of a great ride is to be safe and have fun, so again I am really looking forward to us riding together.
    Thank you for signing up to this ride.
    Safe riding, Colin.

Rider Comments on the Route

  1. Richard Jones Sunday 25th August
    Excellent route and very friendly leaders, really enjoyable ride many thanks
  2. Susan Fisher Sunday 14th July
    Nothing wrong with the route or the leadership of the ride but pace too slow to be a "steady" ride.
