In loving memory of Alan Steinle who sadly passed away on 5th October 2022.
Alan was a Husband, Father, Grandfather and Cycling was his passion. He made many life long friends through the sport. He was an involved member of The Pickwick Club, The Pedal Club and the CTT.
When on a bike as he did in all aspects of his life, Alan gave 100% effort, it wasn't always pretty or effective but you always knew he wasn't holding anything back.
The measure of a man are the friendships he makes along the way and in that respect Alan was a giant who will be deeply missed by many.
After the service the family would very much like you to join them to celebrate Alans life. The Poacher & Partridge, Hartlake Road, Tonbridge, Kent. TN11 0PH.

As well as cycling, which I personally know nothing about, Alan knew his stuff when it came to music, cars and computers. Over a 10 year period we went to around 50 gigs together, sometimes the two of us, sometimes with others, and I have many great memories. He was always great company and certainly kept his life busy but also had his feet on the ground (when not on the pedals). Someone to look up to. Thoughts are with Cherry, Mark and Nicola.
I was so sad to hear the news that Alan had died and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. It was a privilege and a pleasure to have known him. he was a gentleman and touched so many lives. He measured the 10 course on Cyclopark with me the last time we met and whilst he was respected as a great rider he had humility and was always willing to help his fellow team mates and cyclists. He will be hugely missed and leaves a massive hole and it is hard to imagine life without him especially at the Pedal Club. Tony M
I always enjoyed Alan's company whether it was a cycling trip to Belgium or auditing the CTT South East District Accounts.
RIP
With condolences.
Wonderful friend, we will really miss you. Alan and Chris.
A great mate, and taken too soon
