Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Steven Stuart Hi my name is Steve. I started cycling again about 6 years ago after having had a break for a few years. I went on a couple of City Skyrides and was immediately hooked on the Skyride concept. I am a member of West Kent CTC and a British Cycling Level 1 and Level 2 Ride Leader. I have planned some of the skyride local routes. I am looking forward to meeting all of you this year on the Local and City Skyrides.
  • Monjurul Haque
  • Jaap Nijsen I have been cycling all my life and love every moment of it, whether it is commuting, road, off-road, with family or with friends.
    Part of the fun is getting others to join the cycling fun. Come along and light up your love for cycling! Everyone can cycle ... it's easy, just get on your bike and pedal up :-)
