💡What is the School Of Rocks? A woman-led community offering a toolkit to empower everyone to find joy in off-road cycling. The School of Rocks builds skill, confidence and community by organising a curriculum of rides over 6-week terms. Rides are fun, regular and gently progress in difficulty. Riders learn and grow in a supportive environment. ⛰ The School of Rocks provides an alternative space to those who don't feel represented in the traditional gravel scene. We particularly welcome women, riders from the LGBTQIA+ community, and riders of all shapes and sizes, skin colour, ethnicity, age, background and ability to discover the joy of exploring by bike. 🧱 The School of Rocks format is perfect for building community in your area or incorporating in an existing community to attract new faces and develop existing riders
🌱 Our values are: equity, curiosity, connection, empowerment, sustainability
🎸 Trails not traffic 👩🏾🤝👩🏼 Community over competition 🍌 Snacks over stacks
🍾 We celebrate the process and enjoy a Gravduation ride to recognise our achievements at the end of term
🏃♂️ What Next? New term launching in September
