Mary was sadly killed in a road incident while cycling home earlier this year. She was a ride leader for Gillingham Wheelers and a key member of Blackmore Vale Cycling Club, where she was treasurer and produced the weekly newsletter. She toured across Europe to Syria and back; in one year she notched up 10,000 miles on the bike. She was a competent and sympathetic ride leader, known for her expertise and enthusiasm.

“Quite simply Mary was the backbone of our club and taught many of us how to ride correctly, never pulled any punches when members broke cycling rules and will be sorely missed.”
