Doncaster cycling guru named in country's top 100 at prestigious awards
A community cycling champion who leads bike rides across Doncaster has been honoured after being named in the UK’s top 100 women in cycling.
Susan Morgan, founder of Yorkshire Heels on Wheels and Breeze ride leader, has been named in the annual rundown by Cycling UK.
Her citation said: “Susan first began cycling to improve her mental health, and decided to become a Breeze ride leader.
"She found it highly rewarding, watching the women in the group enjoy building their confidence and mileage.
"After the pandemic, some of the ladies started asking for more exciting and challenging rides, so Susan set up a separate group – the Yorkshire Heels on Wheels social group.
"She also encourages other group members to lead rides, and all members support and empower each other with all aspects of their rides and touring holidays.”
She said: “Watching the seasons change on a bike is food for the soul. I love the group members’ resilience, enthusiasm and fun-loving attitude.”
