Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Andy Salmon Andy Salmon Hi,
    I have been participating in Sky Rides for around three years now after many years where I did hardly any cycling.

    I wasn't sure about my level of ability so initially I started with the less challenging rides and progressed through to the Strong Plus level rides which I thoroughly enjoy.

    Last year I started thinking that it might be a good idea to contribute in some way so when I heard that Sky were looking for some new ride leaders for 2013, I jumped at the opportunity.

    I look forward to meeting you out on two wheels whether you're new to cycling or are an experienced rider wanting to challenge yourself.

    Andy.
  • Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson
  • Claire Dolman Claire Dolman This is my second year as a ride leader, though I've been cycling since Father Christmas brought me a pink trike with an elephant on it in 1979. I've got a blue bike now with a picture of a rabbit on it, so you can see how much I've grown up.
    We've got some brilliant places to cycle in the Black Country, and I'm really looking forward to sharing them with everyone.
