  • Andrew Sillman Andrew Sillman Hello, my name is Andy and I've been a ride leader with Sky Ride for 4 months and have thoroughly enjoyed going out on bikes with like-minded people. The rides are designed to meet everyone's needs and are fun. Hope to see you out on a ride.soon and if you enjoy it tell us and your friends
  • Melanie Flude Melanie Flude I have been riding since I was a child, but took up cycling more seriously last summer after being informed, I could no longer run anymore.
    I regularly cycle on my own clocking up between 10-25 miles, but more recently have been a Breeze participant, which motivated me and inspired me to become a Breeze Champion.
