“Ken, previously a racing cyclist, has been a member of Bexhill Wheelers for many years and can often seen in the country lanes around Bexhill.

“He also represents cyclists in general, marshalling local races and on various planning, health and safety committees and associations.

I organise a cycle ride for Bexhill Wheelers members on Thursday mornings. This is basically for retired cyclists, but all are welcome. We meet at the De La Warr car park on Thursdays at 10.30am They have been very successful and help us keep fit.”
