Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Joe Sammon Hi
    I have been riding and leading rides in a club for about 5 years now. I try to ride a few sportives when I get the chance and last year I rode from Bilbao to Barcelona for a local charity.

    I'm out riding in the coutryside as often as i can and encourage my children to do the same. In my opinion group riding is the safest and best way to
    ride.
  • Brian Johnson In 2010 six of us decided to ride in the Norwich 50 challenge bike ride. That started my interest in cycling and since then I've cycled through stunning scenery in the Outer Hebrides, Scottish Highlands and along Hadrian's Cycleway as well as progressing to the Norwich 100 challenge ride.

    I cycle to enjoy the scenery, as an enjoyable way to exercise and for good company and I'm looking forward to helping others find enjoyment in cycling.
  • Stuart Seaholme Stuart Seaholme Having not ridden for many years I took the opportunity to be trained as a cycle instructor in 2006. The last few years have been very enjoyable and rewarding to see so many people improve and a really fun way to keep fit.
