Gordon’s involvement in the club has increased steadily over recent years and now regularly turns out on a Sunday morning to lead C-Group rides. Gordon’s main interest is social riding where the objective is to enjoy the company of like-minded riders both on the road and at the cafe stops. Unil his retirement in 2019 he commuted to work daily on his fixie (about 20 miles) in all but the worst of weather, a machine that he also uses on club rides – if it’s not too hilly! At the same time Gordon likes to challenge himself and each year trains (!) for some long distance sportives – usually century rides. A very capable bike mechanic, Gordon likes to tackle almost all his own (and other’s) bike maintenance. He is the club’s current Welfare Officer, a Rider Leader for HSBC Guided Rides (Let’s Ride) and a member of Cycling UK. He owns 4 bikes (at the moment).
