Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Rachel Barnett It must be the Dutch blood in me that has given me a love of cycling. My first ever cycle tour was slightly mad. Lands End to John O'Groats. But then I was a student and knew no better. Fear not folks we won't be doing that one just yet.

    I became Bucks first Nationally Accredited Cycle Instructor in 2003 and set up my own company called Vale Cycle Training in 2004. Since then I have been training people of all ages to cycle with confidence, from 6 to 66.

    Join me for a fun ride through the beautiful Bucks countryside and have a laugh along the way.
  • Tracy Taylor Hi
    I learnt to ride when I was 4 years old, frequently going on bike rides with my family exploring the countryside on our camping trips.Through my teenage years the bike gave me some independance - I used it to get around as I lived in the countryside.

    I believe those experiences have shaped my love of cycling today- which I do for enjoyment rather than "competition" or anything too serious.

    The Sky ride is a great way for people to enjoy a social ride with like minded cyclists- whatever level- and enjoy the countryside, fresh air and sunshine (?) that Britain has to offer.
