Group Leader - Wayne
Wayne loves to cycle. He started in May 2020, motivated but his slipping mental health and weight gain, he decided he’d start cycling to add value to his life. Going out, seeing new places and exploring during the pandemic helped Wayne release the feelings of stress and pressure. Realising this, Wayne knew he had to share the experience with others from his community.
Wayne struggled to feel at home within the bounds of standard cycling clubs, especially as a novice, so after trying out a few that didn’t fit well, he created TWR - Together We Ride.
Wayne believed in creating a mixed ability cycling group that sometimes, breaks all the standard cycling rules in order to be inclusive and encourage a variety of people to participate. He is a caring and generous soul and he embeds that in the ethos of the group.
