Meet the Ride Leaders

  • David Puddifoot
  • Jim Guiton Hi I'm Jim.

    This will be my second year as a ride leader and I have had a great time meeting people and enjoying the rides I've been on. If you have not been on a bike for while the sky rides are an excellent way to get back into cycling.
  • Ian Facer Ian Facer Hi. I'm a fairly keen recreational cyclist and get out on my bike when time allows. I trained as a Sky Ride Leader this year and I'm looking forward to taking you on some lovely jaunts where we do the work and you just enjoy the ride.
