We have our ride leaders to thank for introducing new members to the club and enabling them to get a feel for group riding.
When the sun’s shining (or not) on a summer evening, it’s our ride leaders who make sure we can offer a range of rides to suit different appetites and paces.
And at the weekends, it’s ride leaders who take the time to plot a route, load up a Garmin, and take fellow Condors spinning into the Cotswolds or the Chilterns.
So to recognise this vital role that some very special Condors play, every month we’ll be bringing you the Condor Ride Leader of the Month!
Taking the accolade first is James Neuhaus. If you’ve been riding recently, there’s a good chance you’ve been on one of his rides. He’s led plenty of weekday socials, and when we had a flood of social riders the other week James helped to organise more leaders to take additional groups. After a hilly social to Burford on a roasting Sunday, the following weekend he took a bunch of eager climbers deep into the Cotswolds by train to take on some of the regions fiercest hills. Chapeau James!
