The Rapha Women’s 100 is a global challenge to get female cyclists around the world riding 100 kilometers or more on the same day. It will take place for the fourth consecutive year on the 17th of July.

Following continuous growth from its inception in 2013 to last year’s participation of more than 8,000 women around the world, this year Rapha aims to get 12,000 women on bicycles and riding together.

Whether this is their first 100K or a routine distance, Rapha wants to encourage women to get together to ride their bikes. Sign up is now live at www.rapha.cc/womens100, where female cyclists can pledge to ride 100K on the 17th of July and then register their own group ride or join a ride in their area.

Rapha ambassadors and Cycle Clubs will host rides, and all participant-registered and official Rapha rides will appear on a global directory on the Women’s 100 page. To celebrate the event a limited edition jersey, cap and socks will go on sale in June.

Rapha creates the finest cycling clothing and accessories in the world. Designed without compromise for the most discerning rider, Rapha products blend style with optimum performance. A passion for road racing means Rapha is more than just a product company. It is an online emporium of performance roadwear, accessories, publications and events, all celebrating the glory and suffering of road riding.
