Meet the Ride Leaders

  • ANDREW TOMLIN ANDREW TOMLIN Hi everybody, I'm Andrew! I am and have been a keen cyclist in the Lake District for over 25 years and love 'The Great Outdoors'. Cycling offers the opportunity to stay healthy and fit, as well as seeing nature in this beautiful corner of England. I am, first and foremost, a keen mountain biker - the rougher and muddier the ride, the better! But whether off road or on road, I just love my bike. So why not join me for some cycling fun, and if you are a visitor, I have lots of local knowledge about Cumbria and tips for some great cycling outings. Look forward to seeing you, Sky Riders!
