"There is nothing better than a long day on the saddle, making memories, discovering new places, pushing limits together and making new friends out there."

- Anne Apfelbeck

"You’re setting yourself up for a challenge. That means it may be hard at times, but that’s the whole point. Set a pace you’re comfortable with, fuel, hydrate, talk, look at the landscape, and don’t forget to enjoy. You’ll be so proud at the end!"

- Carla Alfonso

"Women’s only rides have a different vibe. The atmosphere is much more relaxed, women are more chatty from the first second. Mixed rides are also much more hectic and chaotic, whereas women's only feel more organized and calm - and I don't mean that we are slower."

- Anne Apfelbeck

"But in women-only rides, I feel a different vibe. Different topics come up, and also: while there are very strong women who don’t struggle to follow men’s wheels, some of us - myself included - do, and in women’s rides I feel less pressure to keep up. I can focus more on the social aspect and just enjoying the ride."
