Where am I going in 2025?

June 2025 - my first tour for Bikexplore  - will be a 2-centre holiday based in York and Helmsley so that we can enjoy a series of 7 day-rides in the Vale of York, the Wolds and the North York Moors.
I am also planning a long weekend ‘Cheese Pilgrimage’ for September 2025 - visiting Wharfedale, Wensleydale and Coverdale using part of the Dales Cycleway.
 
For 2026 - more tours in Yorkshire and perhaps a trip to northern France and the Baie de Somme and Provence.

My experience and style

What to expect

Who am I ?
I cycle for pleasure first and foremost - not to break records!  I have a relaxed leadership style both at work and play.  Recently retired from employment as a Chartered Surveyor / Director of Estates & Facilities at the University of York, I cycle out twice a week with York’s ‘Member Group’ of Cycling UK usually covering between 60k - 100k on each ride.
When not on a bicycle,  I volunteer as a Lay Canon at Lincoln Cathedral.
Where do I go ?

I have led family and friends on cycling holidays in the Uk and abroad and since 2023 have cycled in France, Italy, Spain, Denmark and the Netherlands as well as in the UK.

The roads that I take
Expect quiet country roads, excellent cafe stops and comfortable accommodation .
What I would hope for
As a past customer of Bikexplore, my aim is to provide the same excellent service and happy, memorable holidays as my new colleagues.
