What's the cost

LGG has been successful in receiving funding from Cycling UK as part of their Big Bike Revival project. This means the cost of this workshop (but not chips!) is all covered. 

We know that sometimes free events can mean there is less buy-in or commitment from people to attend- but we also know life gets in the way and things crop up. Please let us know ASAP if you are no-longer able to attend so we can re-allocate your ticket. 

Who'll be teaching?

The brilliant Hannah Milton (she/her), local mechanic and experienced teacher is leading on our summer of Big Bike Revival mechanics sessions. Hannah is a font of knowledge and is a calm, caring teacher.

Our workshops are welcoming to ALL skill and experience levels, they foster a collaborative learning environment welcoming questions and discussions. 

You are welcome even if you haven't been on LGG ride before. We know many enjoy attending a workshop as a first step of confidence into the LGG community. Joining a event or ride can be scary and nerve-racking for many, we aim to create a friendly, sociable, welcoming environment for you, please join us. Do email lakesgravelgang@gmail.com if you have any questions or we can support you to join us in any way.

LGG events, rides and workshops are for all women, including trans women, and non binary folk who are comfortable in a space that centers the experience of women.

By participating in this Big Bike Revival funded project you give permission for LGG to share your name and email address with Cycling UK for monitoring and evaluation purposes. Cycling UK will send you an email after you attend the session for you to fill in a feedback questionnaire. Please send us an email if you require any more details about this. 

Your cooperation with filling in this post session questionnaire supports us evidencing the good things we are doing with the funding and will hopefully mean we'll get more again in the future for more nice, free, things- thank you.
