Steve Dawson

Founder

I began my ‘work’ life as a Graphic Designer (skills I still use to this day), but after 10 years in the industry I decided on a career change. I became a Gym Instructor / Personal Trainer. This allowed me to work for myself, as much or as little as I wanted, with the added bonus I never had to pay for a gym membership!

After 18 years in the Fitness Industry I’d simply had enough, my heart was no longer in it, my true passion was, and is cycling. All forms of cycling.

Whether I’m hitting the trails on a mountain bike, exploring on a gravel bike, or getting the miles in on the road I’m happiest on a bike. Whether that’s on my own, or as part of a group, you honestly can’t beat experiencing the great outdoors on two wheels. The desire to be out cycling in the wilds of the countryside, to seek out new trails, and to explore new pastures. You can’t beat it.

Alongside guiding I am also a Bikeability Instructor, mainly working with super excited school children across the High Peak area, and a qualified Cytech Technical 2 Mechanic.

At the end of the day Cycling is fun, it’s therapeutic, and it always, no matter what the weather is like, leaves you wanting more.

More mountain bike leaders coming soon…

If you want to book a guided ride for a group larger than 8 riders we will aim to source another guide to help.
