RDC QOM Tour de France Femmes 2023 Challenge

Join us to celebrate the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift. In honor of Stage 7, the mountain stage we will be hosting a QOM Challenge. We encourage all of our cis women, trans women and non binary friends to join us in a challenging yet fun day of celebration.

The route takes you through North Boulder, up and over Old Stage to Left Hand Canyon, and over W Lee Hill for your first segment. From there you will turn onto Wagon Wheel road, which will take you up Bow Mountain for your second segment of the day. Descending down Linden and over to Sunshine Canyon for some more climbing that takes you to Poorman and then down the canyon. Finish your day with one last climb up Chapman all the way to artist point for your last segment. Then cool down and meet us back at Full Cycle for a Stage 7 viewing party and complimentary Fat Tire!

The Challenge:
Complete the 41.3 mile route with 4,500 ft of climbing. There will only be (3) timed segments and the fastest cumulative time for these segments will receive a prize from our sponsors. Awards will be rewarded to the top 3 riders

We have always worked to create inclusive environments for our riders, which to us is more than sending an invite, it’s route selection, pace options, instruction and no egos.
We understand that this route does not necessarily meet that standard at first, but if you trust us and take a chance, this day can be a win for everyone! Look at the miles, look at the elevation and find your own challenge for the day. Is it to finish the first climb, take part in your first competitve cycling day, ride 20 miles? We don’t know what your limit is and we truly don’t care. There will be people who win prizes and there will be people who win the day by doing something they didn’t think feasible. What we care about is giving you the oppoirtunity to break the ceiling, find joy in doing something challenging and celebrating history in the making as we watch women line up to take on the second edition of the TDFF.
