August’s Ride Leader of the Month

August’s ride leader of the month – Sam Elliott

As well as leading some social and medium rides over the season, including a great Saturday spin to Henley, Sam’s a man for the big rides.

This month’s ride leader shout out goes to a man who thinks nothing of a century. In fact it doesn’t take much for him to suggest twice that – he was the mastermind of the Cambridge and back ride earlier in the month, though sadly a spill forced an early turn for home.

One evening, sipping a beer in Morzine, Sam suggests leading a ride the next day. It’s a century he says, we’ll go to Geneva for lunch. Gulp, this is the Alps. Right, I’ve plotted it. It goes via the Col de la Colombière…

Chapeau Sam!

And a special mention goes for ride leading with a twist…

…Cheryl for the utterly inspired Tour de Charity Shop which raised £348 for Helen & Douglas House. And saw several male Condors riding in tutus. Now that really deserves a chapeau!
