About
The Tameside Women's Community Cycling Group (TWCCG), run by Jane, is all about getting women into cycling around Tameside and Greater Manchester. Based in Ashton-under-Lyne, Jane's club aims to boost women's cycling skills and confidence with a range of sessions.
Jane's TWCCG offers learn-to-ride classes, cycling confidence sessions, and bike maintenance tips. These are open to women at any skill level, from beginners to those just looking for a bit more road confidence. Jane also organises group rides, so everyone can enjoy a supportive, fun cycling environment.
The club meets at King George V Playing Fields in Ashton-under-Lyne, but women from Tameside, Oldham, Stockport, Salford, and Manchester are all welcome. The location is perfect for accessing cycling routes and paths, ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride every time.
TWCCG is proud to be linked with Cycling UK, a top cycling charity in the UK. Jane also has solid backing from the local Building Stronger Communities Fund, showing just how much the community values their work.
Jane keeps everyone in the loop with regular updates on the TWCCG website and social media pages like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. To join in, women are encouraged to book their free spots on Eventbrite, as spaces go fast. If anyone needs to cancel their reservation, a quick heads-up is always appreciated so others can join the fun.
One standout event hosted by Jane and the TWCCG is the Big Bike Revival, held in winter. This event, coordinated by Cycling UK, offers free cycling sessions and activities to get more people on bikes. Jane's sessions include learn-to-ride classes and scenic social rides through places like Daisy Nook and Alexandra Park in Oldham.
Jane and the Tameside Women's Community Cycling Group are all about creating a welcoming space for women into cycling. Their sessions and events like the Big Bike Revival aim to inspire, build confidence, and spread the joy of cycling.
