In this episode, I’m joined by Mark Presley, outgoing Chairman of York Rouleurs, to talk about something that matters far more than average speed or watts: culture.
York Rouleurs are known for a simple ethos: Rouleurs ride together. We unpack what that actually means in practice, why it works, and why clubs that put culture first tend to last.
This is a conversation about leadership, inclusivity, and building cycling communities that people genuinely want to be part of, whether you ride fast, slow, or somewhere in between.
