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.
1 hours 30 mins  (45 mins cycling)
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

  • Kevin McConnell Kevin McConnell Hi I'm Kev. I have been cycling for a few years now but over the past couple have really caught the bug. I became a sky ride leader to share cycling with anyone that's willing to climb on a bike and enjoy themselves. Although I do enjoy challenging myself on a ride I believe the social aspects of cycling are equally important and it's a great way including all ages and abilities. I look forward to meeting people on sky rides and hope I can help you enjoy this great pastime.
  • Craig Fowler Craig Fowler Hello....I am a keen cycler, I ride daily to work and have recently done the Coast to Coast for charity. I am married and have 3 children. I am very outgoing and friendly and I'm looking forward to meeting new people on our rides!
