Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Mark Wilkes Mark Wilkes I am a member of the local Berkshire Triathlon Squad (but do not do all three disciplines) and a Business Coach. I have lived on the Bucks Berks boundary for 17 years after returning from Germany. My other sport is Sailing so I have an excuse when it is windy to do something else. I do cycle regularly and enjoy group cycling. I became a Sky Leader to help others enjoy the opportunity to get out and about. I look forwards to meeting you.
  • Andy Game Andy Game I've been a Sky Ride leader for the last 4 years in the Southampton and Bournemouth areas.
    I have now moved to Farnborough and so will be doing rides in areas near to here.
    I grew up in Bournemouth and Poole.
    I have been in the Army for the last 23 years and enjoy teaching all kinds of cycling.
    I hold the following Quals:
    National Bikeability Instructor
    Level 2 British Cycling Leader
    British Cycling Off Raod Leading Endorsment
    ABCC Mountain Bike Instructor

    I also instruct Kayaking and Canoeing, so if i'm not on 2 wheels I'm usually on the water!
    I look forward to seeing you on the ride!
