Ride leader Dawn Dodd

  Dawn has been coming to the Beginners since 2000, and has been a leader since 2006. She thinks this is what you should do as a regular and enjoys finding new routes and general exploring.
  In her view, keeping the group together, being friendly and welcoming and knowing the route are important when leading a ride. She especially likes being near water, such as the Thames by Kingston ,but has no particular favourite cafe.
She owns one bike, a purple tourer made by Pearson's with 27 gears, bought in 2005. When she started she rode a bike made from various parts by the late Tom Fiddimore, a stalwart member of the Beginners.
