A unique female race format. Saturday morning and afternoon races followed by fun social evening and Sunday Rides!

Ladies！ Every time we push hard on our pedals, we’re not just breaking through distances—we’re shattering those “you can’t” stereotypes. The moment we fell in love with cycling, every “impossible” turned into “I’m possible!” Age? Just a number, not a limit—it’s a badge of honor. Challenges and adventures? We live for them, always “hurting so good.” The steeper the climb, the more we thrive—not because we’re born fearless, but because every ride makes us braver. The sweat under our jerseys? That’s a love letter to ourselves. These wheels? We’re using them to measure the world. And the way we conquer hills? Just like how we rise above life’s struggles.

Open Group
Riders who have not raced before or for some time and who want to gain experience in a less competitive but equally fun manner.

Elite Group
Experienced female riders who have raced before.

Join us and redefine what it means to be Tough Ladies! Strength can have soft curves; resilience can move with grace. We ride not to be seen—but to discover the version of ourselves that’s stronger than we ever imagined.

Tough Ladies, life without limits—that’s how you ride fierce!

The Schedule

Pre and post race events! Two races on Saturday, a party in the evening, a slow social ride or hike on Sunday! Males are invited, not to race but to help out with some washing, cooking and general support 🙂
