Overview
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. We're raising the stakes for the 2026 Women’s 100 with a new challenge: the Imperial Century. Ride the first 100km with the group, refuel at a Rapha and Maurten supported nutrition stop, then push your limits to complete the full 100 miles. If you’re new to Rapha, or not an RCC member yet, we look forward to welcoming you to our club, and please RSVP here. RCC Members can RSVP on the Rapha app.

Join us for an empowering Women's Only workshop hosted by Trek Sydney. Whether you are gearing up for the Women's 100 or just want to feel more confident on your everyday rides, this session is designed to equip you with the essential skills to ensure you can always keep rolling.
Led by experts in a supportive environment, we’ll get hands-on with the most common on-ride mechanical issues. You’ll learn foolproof techniques for fixing a flat tyre quickly, making key saddle and riding position adjustments for optimal comfort, and performing general bike diagnostics to catch minor issues early. No prior mechanical experience is necessary—just bring your enthusiasm to learn alongside a great community of female cyclists!

Join us at the Rapha Clubhouse for a fantastic post-ride celebration dedicated to the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
Our Women’s 100 training ride will meet at 6:30 AM at Taylor Square and enjoy a scenic yet challenging loop out to Church Point. We will then return to the Clubhouse for fresh French pastries and a warm coffee, while we sit back together to watch the stage recap of Stage 7.
As the queen stage of this year’s tour, Stage 7 sees the peloton tackle the iconic Giant of Provence, Mt Ventoux—a crucial day in the intense battle for the General Classification. Keep a close eye on the broadcast for familiar RCC faces attending the Rapha Femmes Escape, who will be right alongside the road cheering on our heroes!
Whether riding, watching, or both, we look forward to hosting you for a great community morning.

FAQ
What is the Rapha Women’s 100?
The Rapha Women’s 100 is a global cycling event where women all over the world ride 100 kilometers (or miles!) on the same day. It’s a celebration of the women’s cycling community, teamwork, and pushing our limits together. Our main event will take place on Sunday, September 6th.
Do I need to be a RCC member to join?
Not at all! You do not need to be an RCC member to ride with us. This event is open to the entire cycling community. Whether it’s your first time riding in a group or your fiftieth, we want you there.
Can men join this ride?
The Rapha Women’s 100 is an event dedicated specifically to celebrating and empowering women. While we love our male supporters, we ask that these specific rides remain reserved for our female riders only.
I'm a little nervous to join. Will there be different bunches with different speeds?
Absolutely. It is completely normal to feel nervous, especially if this is your first 100km or your first group ride. We will have dedicated ride leaders and sweepers for multiple pace groups.
What if it rains?
Cycling is an outdoor sport, and a little rain won't stop us! If it is just light rain or showers, the ride will go on—just remember to bring a lightweight rain jacket and be extra mindful of slick roads. However, safety is our top priority. If there is severe weather, lightning, or heavy storms, we will cancel or delay the ride and notify everyone, so signing up on this page is super important!
What should I carry with me on the ride?
Riders are expected to be self-sufficient. You should bring a well-maintained bike, a helmet, water bottles, front and rear lights, and a basic puncture repair kit (spare tube, pump, and tire levers). It is also recommended to carry snacks like bars or bananas to keep your energy up between official rest stops.
