A cycle ride is always enhanced by sharing the journey with others, so we thought we’d ask Skedaddlers who they would love to cycle with dead or alive. Here’s their pedalling partner wish-list:
Famous faces…
‘As I’m a ‘leisure’ cyclist and would like to have a laugh as I go, it would have to be Jo Brand. We have similar builds and little legs so I think we’d be well matched’ Imelda McConnell
‘A cafe ride with the new Mr and Mrs Kenny’ Tony Leighton
‘Chris Hoy…..he’s gorgeous!!’ Maralyn Smith
‘Eddy Merckx (if he could keep up with me!)’ Bronwyn Dickey
A family affair…
‘My wife Susan on the back of a tandem so she can power me up those hills!’ Ian Grant
‘My dad. He was just getting big into his cycling after my years of nagging him when cancer got a grip. It’s always an honour riding his Cannondale which he bought just before his diagnosis.’ Jim Beauchamp
‘My husband Jeremy who died 4 years ago. It would have made his day to see our 2 young boys on their first Skedaddle holiday this summer cycling with such gusto.’ Nicky Roberts
Inspired by Skedaddle…
‘All the friends I made on previous Skedaddle trips. Would be great to ride with them again.’
