Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Jamie Matu I am a keen cyclist and triathlete attempting to boost cycling participation at grass roots level, via leading safe and enjoyable Sky Rides.
  • Mark Rodgers Mark Rodgers I've enjoyed riding bicycles all my life and enjoy any distance on any bike! I especially enjoy long distance day rides, the most recent being a fantastic ride from Horbury to Lincoln. I work in education and am passionate about encouraging people onto bicycles from a very early age. I look forward to meeting you on a ride soon!
  • Iain Woodrow Iain Woodrow I'm not a hardcore cyclist, but started riding as something more than getting from A to B at university when I got into mountain biking. Since graduating I've been inclined to use my local gym rather than cycling for fun and fitness, mostly using my bike for commuting plus the odd leisure ride. However, I've recently adopted a little boy so can't get to the gym and decided to re-ignite my love of cycling. While MTBing remains my first love, I'm becoming more interested in any sort of riding and am passionate about getting people on their bikes as a great way to get around
