About Us
Who is Charlie?
On the road or on the trails, you’re in safe hands riding with Charlie.
He ticks the formal boxes as a qualified British Cycling coach and ride leader and has the experience to show for it in over 20 years’ experience leading rides, Charlie is currently the cyclocross secretary for Dulwich Paragon, coaching and managing over 100 riders, as well as the lead off-road coach at the iconic Herne Hill Velodrome.
Having worked with riders at all levels, Charlie is able to organise events for all abilities.
As well as leading rides and coaching, Charlie himself has raced at all levels over the last 20 years.
Charlie’s riding experience and network mean that he brings something special to every ride. For example, when organising London League cyclocross races he has a reputation of using challenging new venues such as Leeds Castle, adding variety to the racing scene.
Charlie is also known to organise visits to unusual, yet amazing places on rides, such as a feed station at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Charlie’s most popular talent is perhaps route planning. To have ridden in the South of England (and explored abroad) for over 20 years, he’s bound to show you some hidden trails you’ve never ridden before (even if they’re right on your doorstep!).
Beyond routes and rides with Hidden Tracks Cycling, you can look out for Charlie’s regular contributions to the London Cycling Campaign’s magazine “London Cyclist”.
