Event Description:

Come join a community of warm, endurance minded, bright spirited women riders for our second annual Century Jubilee: 100/50/22mi Women's Gravel as we ride through mixed surface roads in southern Chittenden and northern Addison County, starting and ending at Frost Beer Works, crafter of tropical, balanced, hazy IPAs and dedicated supporter of women in cycling.

Whether you're experienced with rides of longer duration or have been working to develop comfort and confidence as you build your capacity, there's opportunity here for you. Women's Cycling Collective is focused on offering collaborative, rider-focused events designed to support, encourage and connect women while they explore their potential through the context of the bike and the lens of endurance, training, and the natural world. We invite you to be part of the collective energy that serves to uplift, empower, and inspire women both on and off the bike.

Route Information:

• Route description: The route consists of one clockwise 50mi loop that is repeated in reverse (counterclockwise) for the 100mi participants.
• Familiarity: For women completing the 100, this will provide a sense of familiarity in the second half, with a different perspective and feel since riding in the opposite direction.
• Personal paces: Since our personal paces vary, many women will have crossover as they complete the first fifty miles and/or continue for a second lap as they work towards one hundred.
• Navigation: The route will be partially marked. Riders are expected to carry bike computers/GPS/phones that can support navigation.
