Committee

Andy (Gus)	Chairman
	Although I’ve had bikes since I was a child I didn’t start cycling ‘properly’ until I was 35 years of age (over a decade ago). It all started one day I borrowed my brother’s bike and cycled to Friston Forest,where I stumbled across the ‘Purple Route’ (now relabelled as ‘Red’). Until that point mountain biking was something I’d only vaguely ever heard of,but now I was hooked. I’m now a ride leader for Cycle Seahaven and have been part of the club since it started. I like to join our family rides in the forest and also to help our members develop off-road skills and fitness.
Jill	Club Secretary
	I enjoy cycling on my own and with friends outside of the local area and I joined Cycle Seahaven so I could have the opportunity to cycle with others when I wish,explore new routes,and meet new people. I am not a hugely experienced cyclist,so what I particularly like about the Club is that it is inclusive:we try our best to cater for all shapes and sizes and levels of ability,and give encouragement to improve cycling skills and fitness. That suits me! I don’t know much about maintaining bikes,so it’s also great to have support and help from club members in keeping my bike tuned. I have somehow ended up as Club Secretary,and so am well placed to ensure that people like me are catered for by the Club.
Denis	Treasurer
	I have ridden a bike since I was a child,but it wasn't until the growth of the MTB in the eighties that I found riding a bike so exhilarating and enjoyable. Even now in my retirement riding my bike is one of my top three activities that I enjoy the most. In 2009 I was looking for some "development" in my cycling life when Cycle Seahaven was formed,since then as the club has grown it has formed an integral part of my cycling life,long may this continue.

Clive	Rides &Events Co-ordinator
	A baby boomer who was pedalling,admittedly a tricycle,at 2 years of age I‘ve now been cycling for over 60 years yet my enthusiasm for this activity has never waned. For the past 25 years I’ve been actively involved in various cycling clubs usually in the capacity of chairman or organiser of rides. My greatest achievement in cycling was organising a dozen week-long Bikeathons in France and Holland which raised over £100,000 for NSPCC. As for being in the saddle,so to speak,my best achievement was in May 2011 when I cycled from Land’s End to John O’Groats. My favourite place for cycling is France and there have been some years when I’ve cycled more miles (or should that be kilometres) in France than in Great Britain and I hope to organise some club rides from Dieppe in 2012.
Jacqueline	Press &PR
	Bicycles have long been a part of my life. One of my favourite photos is one of my sister and myself with me standing on the back of my tricycle. I enjoy cycling for the chance to leave behind work and concerns and for the opportunity to take in our beautiful countryside - details that I miss when I drive past them. Cycling with Cycle Seahaven gives me this and more!

	Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle,I have hope for the human race. ~ H.G. Wells I thought of that while riding my bicycle. ~ Albert Einstein on the theory of relativity Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike. ~ John F. Kennedy Cycle tracks will abound in Utopia. ~ H.G. Wells When the spirits are low,when the day appears dark,when work becomes monotonous,when hope hardly seems worth having,just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road,without thought on anything but the ride you are taking. ~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle It's not about the bike ~ Lance Armstrong
David (Lurch)	Committee Member
	I have been cycling since the age of 4;it is in my blood and I have inherited the passion from both my parents,especially my father who was a champion cyclist in his youth. I was a road cyclist up until 1990;I then discovered Mountain Biking and have not looked back since. I have been cycling the South Downs since 1994,after moving down from Bedfordshire. Since being involved in the creation of Cycle Seahaven,becoming a member and ride leader;it has propelled my enthusiasm and love of cycling. Discovering and sharing new trails and stories is all part of the riding experience. Cycle Seahaven is a place to learn,enjoy,share,keep fit,socialise,and almost importantly,be a little crazy and bring a smile home with every ride. See you on the trails ;o)
Roger	Committee Member
	I have recently joined the committee of CSH as a general member. I'm married and have been cycling quite seriously since schooldays (a long time ago!). I'm mainly interested in short fairly fast road rides (unfortunately his wife is not quite so keen!). I also like to travel abroad with my bike and tend to spend my time between homes in the UK and Spain,also with family in South Africa.
Tony	Committee Member
	In my teens,I was a keen touring cyclist but had not touched a bike for 50 years till last November. Since then,I have concentrated on off road and trail biking through the forest and on the Downs. I particularly like flat traffic-free routes like the Cuckoo Trail and Downs Link so an essential part of my kit is a Thule car rack for two bikes. My other interest which has brought me on to the Committee is mapping and I am in the process of producing a map of cycle routes for the Seahaven area.
