Rapha Women’s 100km

The Rapha Cycling Women’s 100kminitiative was a great success worldwide as well as here in China. Over 20 people participated in this long distance cycling event in Beijing. We met at the Natooke store in the morning and after checking all the bicycles, we started our journey from the city center toward the Northern mountain range. Considering that there were many female riders that have never riden such a long distance and that the weather was quite hot that day, this bicycle ride was a great challenge for every participant. We encouraged each other along the way while riding and the whole group successfully and happily arrived at the Ming Tombs’ Reservoir. After that, we also rode the hilly roads around the reservoir. We had 3 flat tires along the ride, but our Natooke staff repaired it immediately. We were happy when the whole group safely arrived back in town. We were especially happy to see that the women were still laughing and chatting when we arrived back showing that they still had some energy left and were very happy with their achievment. Good job girls! Please have a look at our pictures of the ride.
