Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Andrew Wills Andrew Wills I love to cycle and that's it! I cycle from Stourbridge to Birmingham to work most days and go out for pleasure on the weekends. My road bike I use the most but mtb is for fun. I don't do club runs but have done some charity 100 mile plus rides.
    On distance rides I am usually the last one in as I end up fixing the other's bikes on the way.
    Love to ride as a group and none competitive as it's more fun and friendly, that's why I have become a Sky Ride leader
    Look forward to meeting like minded and enjoy......just cycling :-)
  • 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.
  • 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.
