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 10 mins  (30 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

  • Martin Bujdoso Martin Bujdoso Welcome to Sky Ride, please don't let the photo put you off I'm quite friendly really!
    I have been cycling for years and years and enjoy any cycling activity.
    I became a ride leader in 2012 at both on and off road then a route planner.
    I am also a National Standards Instructor and work as a road safety tutor delivering Bikeability to school children. I also work with local authorities delivering a wide variety of cycle training and cycle maintenance sessions including Dr Bike.
    So i hope you enjoy your Sky Ride as thats what its all about. Hope to see you soon. Martin
  • Richard Himan Richard Himan I have owned a bike all of my life, and in my teens competed at schoolboy level. Once I became a car owner I rode only occasionally. When I reached my 40's I decided I needed to try and keep fitter, and to this end I started riding more regularly, just small distances to begin with, to get back into cycling. .

    I now ride whenever I can, and see my cycling not just as a way to stay fit but as a way of helping reduce my impact on the planet. As well as getting around locally, I have ridden long distance paths, including the C2C route and taken a number of biking holidays. I am also regular rider with the Leicester Critical Mass.

    I have been involved with the Skyride program from its conception, this being my 4th year as a leader and ride planner. I enjoy meeting riders of all abilities and ages and helping them to get the most out of their cycling. As leaders it is our aim to give you all the help and support you require when out with us, regardless of your current ability.

    I am also volunteer ranger with Sustrans, looking after the section of NCN6 through Loughborough. I am member of the Leicester Spokes cycling group , Leicester Forest Cycling Club as well as the National Clarion Cycling Club, the oldest cycling club in the country.

    I hope if your reading this you have already signed up for a local ride and look forward to meeting you.

    Richard
