British Cycling are starting their HSBC UK Guided Rides programme in Cardiff and so I volunteered as a ride leader and have just completed my British Cycling Ride leadership Level 1 course

An essential part of being a qualified ride leader is being able to deal with emergencies. However having practised my first aid skills with the British Red Cross my advice would be…don’t crash.

The Guided Rides can be booked via the https://www.letsride.co.uk website along with Social Rides and the City Rides including the one in Cardiff on Sunday 6 August. As well as riding through the city on closed roads there are lots of other cycling related activities taking place. I hope to see you there.
