2027 Femmes Gravel 100

Femmes Gravel 2027: Century Training Program & Gravel Century

Train together. Ride 100 miles. Finish as a team.

Femmes Gravel is a Northwest Arkansas nonprofit that helps femmes take their gravel riding to the next level. Over 13 weeks, you’ll train with a supportive community of riders, build from 30 to 70 mile group rides, and finish the season with a 100 mile gravel century on [Century date].

What started in 2021 as one message in a women’s cycling chat has grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with more than 140 riders a season. 2027 is our sixth season.

What’s included with training registration

• Weekly Saturday group training rides, on vetted routes
• Support from experienced ride leads, floats, and sweeps, with planned regroup points
• Three pace groups so every rider trains at the right level: Group C (Novice, 10 to 12 mph), Group B (Intermediate, 12 to 13 mph), and Group A (Advanced, 13 to 15 mph)
• Off bike clinics on bike fit, nutrition, pelvic floor PT and stretching, tires, bike maintenance, and what to wear
• Free Monthly Femmes Rides on the 3rd Saturday of each month
• An individual weekly training plan to guide your progress
• The Femmes Gravel Guidebook, covering group riding skills, etiquette, and rules of the road
• Entry into the 100 mile Century Event
• One giveaway entry into our end of season raffle for every ride or clinic you attend

Registration options

• Group A, B, or C: Full training program plus the Century Event
• Training Only: Full training program without the Century Event
