  • Alan Thuc Alan Thuc
  • James Denmead James Denmead I started cycling in September 2012 after having spent many years thinking the car was the only form of transport, and accepted I have never been sporty and always preferred sitting to standing.
    After some time in the saddle I learnt being outside and actually doing something was great, I enjoyed it and quickly found the benefits to my fitness. Now I cycle 3 or 4'times a week and when I can I leave the car at home and cycle to work, arriving feeling more alert and awake than after driving.
    I look forward to seeing you on one of my rides.
  • Johnatan Williams I have been cycling for the last 10 years and this has been predominantly on the road.

    I am looking forward to leading out rides this year as a great introduction for people to the fun you can have in group cycling.

    I have two young sons (6&4) and am excited about introducing them to cycling. Sky ride local is a great way of getting you into safe group riding and I'm looking forward to seeing you on one of my rides.
