All women are encouraged. From younger to older, newer to more experienced riders, all women are encouraged to join this social ride. All you need is a roadworthy bike, lights and a helmet.

What is the average pace of the womens lapa ride?

The Women's LaPa aims for an average of around 22-23km/h. Depending on the riders on the day, we can always increase or decrease the speeds as needed, calling 'ease up' or regrouping on any climbs.

Are there any shortcuts or bail out options?

This ride doesn't really have any opportunities to take shortcuts, however, there are options to bail. You could choose to turn around at any time on your own and head back home or to the cafe in Surry Hills. Alternatively, you could catch the tram on Anzac pde and head into the city. We recommend staying with the group instead and we could always reduce the pace to make it easier.
