Learn a little more about our name, and how we came to be below ⬇️ ...and many of you will know there are a few cycling connections to the name too 👌 Thankfully, so far, so good, think we are nailing this definition. The year one impact report is a sight to behold 💜 For those that don’t know, the programme would be nothing without the support of SHIFT Active Media, who have dedicated time, money and resources to helping us get to lift off 🙏  Currently the programme is free to enter and fully made possible by SHIFT, the mentors (dedicating their time) and the brands who support all our events. Thank you ☺️ Onwards, upwards. PS. Applications are open, and close on the 2nd of September. Apply here https://lnkd.in/eyUAtC54 #Cycling #Mentoring

For those of you asking how the programme works 👇 but it can be totally flexible too. For example, if you meet in real life, like a few have done, then it could be a full day working session with optional snacks, wine or bikes 🍷🚴♀️ Applications close 2nd of September 💜

'The women who work at brands that support women’s cycling are trying to work together to bring more women into the fold. One conversation with them and you’ll end up in WhatsApp group and invited to events with chocolate fountains and nail painting. They are inviting, warm and welcoming to anyone who shows even the slightest interest in working in the industry' 🔈 Alexa Cunningham & Kate Veronneau words by Abby Mickey & Escape Collective 'We set up a new group chat for TDFFaZ, for everyone who was on the ground, and before you know it there were 20+ of us, Aperol and SO MUCH energy' 🔈 Uplift Founder, Rachael Burnside 📚 https://lnkd.in/enPA3Vmk 📸 : The Cyclists' Alliance
