Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Richard Mills My second year with Skyride, this year as a leader so I can help others to get on two wheels and enjoy group rides.
  • Ray Whitehouse I am an avid cyclist and a member of the London Cycling Campaign, Havering Cyclists and the CTC.

    I am a Sustrans Active Travel Champion and also a member of the London Waterways Partnership Board.

    I am a supporter of Birmingham City football club having been born near the ground and supported them all my life.

    I hope that my time as a Sky leader will encourage more people to take up cycling and improve their competence.
  • Neil jones Hi!
    You will usually find me at the back of the ride making sure we don't lose anyone. So far I've been successful.
    I don't mind if the group are a little way ahead of us and there is no pressure to keep up, we can move along at our own pace.
    I've got a young daugther of 3 and a new rider for a partner so I'm never in much of a rush when on the bike with them.
    I do enjoy a blast through the woods when I get some free time and enjoy cleaning my bike even more.
    I look forward to meeting you.
    Neil
