Meet the Ride Leaders

  • 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.
  • Danny Kirwin
  • Simon Williams Simon Williams I love all kinds of cycling and want to help as many other people experience the positive benefits of getting on a bike. I am a committed year round commuter so won’t let a bit of rain keep me indoors!

    Throughout the years I’ve been cycling I’ve also learned to do all my own cycle maintenance too, if I’m not out riding I’ll often be found in the shed tinkering with another two wheeled “project”.
