Tony Smith

Tony became a cycling convert in 2004 when running marathons was not only getting harder but sadly getting slower too. Since 2004 has taken part in events all over Europe including the Etape in 2010 through the Pyrenees, as well as completing 2 Land’s End to John O’Groats rides in 2011 and 2012.

Sport is his passion and since retiring from Unilever in 2009 he has had the luxury of time to dedicate to it. In 2009/10 he completed the YMCA Fit course to qualify as a personal trainer feeling it was important to have an informed view of training rather than relying on simple enthusiasm.

He has worked as a guide for pie on a number of events in the UK and on Paris to London rides, and whilst he may not be the fastest on 2 wheels he gets a tremendous buzz from riding with groups and hopes people have a good time riding with him.
