Last week the Rapha Cycle Club hosted a launch party for the Women’s 100.  The Women’s 100, at it’s core, is a Strava Challenge on July 20 for women to complete 100k – but it has grown into so much more.  Leading up to the 100k milestone the Rapha Cycle Club will be hosting weekly Women’s Training Rides on Sundays, best suited to beginner to intermediate road cyclists. 

 

To inspire and kick off the Women’s 100, Coach Tara Parsons gave a talk to over 60 women on goal setting and training towards that goal.  Tara enthralled her audience, most of whom were taking notes and leaning in to hear more.  Many of the NYC racing community was in attendance, as well as runners, triathletes, novice cyclists and their supportive significant others.  The evening was an overall success, pairing women who wanted to learn with the resources, knowledge and community to achieve their goals.
