Tripleshot/Rapha Women's 100 2020 - Sept. 6th

[shawn]

Sorry, guys. We adore you (and your draft) but this one is for the women.

Many of you have participated in the Victoria Women's 100km ride in the past few years. It was based on the International Rapha Women's 100.

Here's a link to the Rapha event: https://www.rapha.cc/ca/en/stories/wome ... /womens100
And a link to the Strava Challenge, if you're into that: https://www.strava.com/challenges/Rapha-Womens-100-2020

We're putting on this ride for TSC's women this year, using the group-forming magic of Spond. It will need to be a bit different, but it will still be awesome!

There will be 3 pace groups for the ride and groups will be set up on Spond. There will be just 10 spots in each group but we'll make more groups if there is demand.

Unlike the past, we won't be hosting a big social before or after the ride, but the routes will end close to coffee shops where groups may want to go find drinks and snacks after the ride so it'll still be awesome!

There won't be aid stations available this year, so you will need to bring your own snacks and water, but it will STILL be awesome!

Watch for the rides to be posted on Spond in the next week or so, and check back here for route maps, starting places and times. Join the Strava Challenge, get yourself onto a Spond group and get ready to ride 100km to celebrate women's cycling with your TSC friends.

Awesome! I was hoping we would do something for it! All signed up on Strava! And I've ordered one of the Rapha Women's 100 jerseys

That's great, Chelsea! And the ride ( 3 groups ) is now up on Spond.

Spond is now LIVE for this ride. The "B2-3" group is filling fast but we will add another group at this level if it is needed
