I am passionate about cycling and enjoy encouraging others to ride their bicycles. I am a cycle coach and founder member and chair for Leicester Women's Velo and Founder member and club secretary for Ride on Sistas.

I love to encourage others to get active. I am an award wining personal trainer and one of Cycling UK's 100 Women in Cycling 2019.

To pitch as a hiker biker is only $5. It…… Continue reading Hiker Biker Sites

Walton

I cycled West headed for the coast from Eugene to Walton and stayed with Tonia and Hal. They own a retreat with yurts. It was amazing. The food was from the garden and it tasted so good.
