July 26, 8:30 am
Kildonan Park, 2015 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Every year Rapha hosts a 100k women's ride to inspire women around the world to meet new challenges and get on their bikes. 
This ride will be an unsupported ladies only event. 

Everyone can ride at their own pace but the intent is to create a sense of camaraderie so that every rider can complete the event. 
A route map will be supplied, and pace leaders will be identified for ride day. 
There will be many opportunities to stop along the way for refreshments or just to smell the roses or a chance to power through the route. 

Here is a link to the proposed route for the day! 

Here is a link where you can register for the event.

This ride is being planned as an "At your own Risk" event. You need to be responsible for your own safety on the road and consider the day no different that going out for a casual ride with friends.
