Rider profile Ron Weedon

  Ron is arguably the oldest regular rider with the Beginners, but probably not with the Easy Riders who meet on Wednesdays. He reports his age at 81, he is 5' 7" tall and weighs in at 12 stone. He usually sports a beard and a cap and rides a 2nd hand Pearson Tourer donated by a neighbour. He has been through several bikes over the years, usually donating them to his 7 grandchildren.
  Ron has been a member of the CTC off and on for 70 years as well as the YHA and has cycled in every county in England, Scotland and Wales. He has been coming to the Beginners for the last 9 years after giving up horse riding on Saturdays. He also does recreational rides using the Freedom Pass. He says that climbing hills is becoming more difficult and is now thinking about an Electric assisted bike.

  Ron has a fund of well recounted stories about his past and events during the 2nd World War and is unfailingly helpful on matters mechanical. We look forward to his company for many more years.
