Having rediscovered her love of cycling in 2016, Jess explored all the track she could find in Cardiff on her gravel bike during the pandemic. Unable to find a local gravel group, she set up School of Rocks Cardiff to encourage women and trans people not confident off-road to learn skills, organising rides and bikepacking trips, growing a truly inclusive, accessible and diverse gravel community in Cardiff.

“It has been an absolute pleasure the last two years seeing the club grow, share the routes I found, see women gaining such confidence and be able to ride their bikes wherever they want.”
