When I decided three years ago that I wanted to try cycling (meet people, get active again) I met a guy who not only taught me how to ride on the road and the velodrome, but he was instrumental in getting that competitive fire going again. Now I’ve started racing and absolutely love being on a bike. I’m thankful every day for meeting Scott.

Yes, my mate Martin, we met through cycling and instantly hit it off. He taught me to love hills and never give up. He’s moving away this year and I’m going to miss him.
Mark Herring
Yes, my now other half, without whom I would never have had the belief in myself to try time trialling and certainly not a 12-hour, 230 miles later. I love it.

It brought me into contact with my local bike shop, which sold me a bike, which changed my life — so, yes.

I met Margaret Rae Tennant at Ride the Rockies in 2013. She has Parkinson’s disease. She is an inspiration to me and everyone else who encounters her. Catch her on Youtube with her ‘Better on the bike’ video. Bill Vermeulen
