Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Steve Smith Steve Smith Hi I have been cyclist since I was pretty much a baby from the child seat on back of my moms bike, on a tandem to my own bike. I grew up in a cycling family and have always found great pleasure in cycling from riding with a club to cycling holidays or just on my own. I ride these days on a MTB on the roads, canal towpaths and offroad.
