MEET THE TEAM
COLIN ALDERSON
Team Vet
The one with the banging tunes.
Colin provides the entertainment with his morale boosting playlist and extremely funny jokes.He knows nothing about animals he’s not that kind of Vet.
JUSTIN BRACE
Anne
Ration Assasin and Egg flipper. Loves Bananas, hates Greenery; unless it’s for garnishing purposes. Justin has more time off than Yul Brinners Barber. Could get away more than Judith Chalmers if he wanted.
DARREN WOOTTON
Super hero - Ciderman
Getting behind Darren to use his huge frame as a wind break is always a winning idea. The downside to this is Darren loves his Cider which can be quite gassy at times.
ANDY MOORE
Lead navigator
Many of our training rides are following Andy. We always know where we’re going (honest). Moores mystery tours are always a great way to see the local countryside (again).
PAUL WILLIAMS
Our puncture repair kit. Small enough to put in your pocket. AKA Shetland Tony
Whenever anyone has a puncture, it’s always handy to have Paul near by. We can all fix punctures or replace tubes, but Paul just has the knack.
RUSSELL GANT
Q (the professor)
Russell takes the lead in our research and development department. Russell shows us what kit to avoid and why. Battery powered air compressors are number 1 on that list.
RICHARD BRADSHAW
Uncle Albert
Richard is the beer brewer of the gang. We’re all secretly hoping that Richard has a beer mashing ready for tasting. Richard is brilliant at brewing beer, rubbish at curry house selection.Uncle Albert? He loves all things boaty.
SEAN WOOTTON
Now named C1
Brother to Darren and competes against him in Rum depletion. Sean actually lives miles away and will be taking the lead on the Dartmoor classic.
COOKIE
The Wobbly Runner
Zero training on 2 wheels, Cookie smashed the ride from London to Paris in 2022. Cookie also smashed his knee, elbow, wrist and his watch. Cookie prefers to slap tarmac with his feet as a runner. We’re currently crowd funding to buy him some stabilisers for his bike.
STEVE JONES
Paris gullible tourist.
So, we had a spare place on the L2P challenge and after a rigorous selection process, Steve’s ability to bypass the salad bar and dance the funky chicken sealed the deal. He becomes the 10th man to cycle with us and joined us for the 2022 London to Paris trip. When he isn’t at work, Steve joins us to blast around the Suffolk countryside tasting the delights of the many cafes on route.
JIM WILCOX
The geography student.
Jim joined the salad dodgers in 2023 and is currently getting ready to ride on the trip to Arnhem in Holland. In preparation for this, Jim has been very busy learning 3 languages: German, French and Flemish. When it comes to paying the bills, we’re all hoping that Jim is willing to go Dutch.
