Meet the Ride Leaders

  • David Ringrose David Ringrose I used to ride a lot when as was younger, but as always happens, work got in the way and I took an extended sabatical.

    I started cycling again about 3 years ago as part of my commute to work and was bitten by the bug again. I started riding further and further and have begun to ride sportives. My 1st was a 52 mile ride from Manchester to Blackpool. Last year I rode in the Nottingham and London 100 mile sportives.

    This year I've already signed up for the 1st L'Eroica Britannia and am in the process of restoring an old 1953 Shefffield Langsett road bike which I'll use on the day.

    I ride both mountain bikes and road as well as a bit of commuting by bike. As my sons get older I seem to ride more and more with them so I'm well used to riding with kids. I even help run albaRosa Cycling Club's Youth section http://albarosacc.com/youth and I'm the cycling governor at my kids' school
