Meet the Ride Leaders

  • James Willcox I've been cycling for leisure for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've dabbled with all forms of bike riding, including a brief foray into Downhilling! I'm excited to help people get more involved with cycling and share some of the experiences I have gained.
  • Joanna Ward Joanna Ward Hi there - my name's Jo. I love riding my bike and I am really excited about leading some of your Sky Rides. I got back into Cycling after a10 year gap and I now cycle everywhere that I can. I am lucky that my job - I work for Sustrans; means that I get paid to get more people cycling. To be honest its wonderful as it means I spend most of my days cycling around in the Sunshine and Rain ! and I love being out of doors. Hoping that you'll join one of my rides soon.
  • Lesley Taylor Lesley Taylor Hi everyone, I love cycling and cycle somewhere just about everyday. There is something about being out on the bike, and on country roads in the fresh air. I am really looking forward to leading organised rides whether they are a leisurely cycle out or a bit more challenging.

    I will look forward to meeting you soon!
