Women's 100

Ride with the women who chase you forward. This year, the Rapha Women’s 100 is celebrating the best rivals and fierce friends who make us stronger. The friends who give us a line to follow. And the rivals who give us a reason not to hit snooze. The riders we love to beat – and love to see win, too.

IRREPRESSIBLE MOMENTUM

Water can be an unstoppable force or a gentle current. Rivalry is much the same. Fierce or friendly, it smooths rough edges. In cycling, it’s the force that pushes performance, changing the way we ride and race. This is the inspiration for a special edition capsule, to mark the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in August and the Rapha Women’s 100 in September.

FAQs

When and where does the ride take place?

How do I track and log my 100km?

I’ve never ridden 100km before. Can I do this?

100km can be an intimidating distance to ride for the first time, which is why the Rapha Cycling Club (RCC) has set up local training rides globally. You can train for the Women’s 100 with other riders who are also taking on the challenge for the first time. Find a training ride here.
