Invitation to the Women's Ride Challenge
September 12, 2026, in Bromont
The Women's Ride Challenge is our big end-of-season event, a road and gravel cycling event in the heart of the Eastern Townships, where women of all levels have their place.
The challenge? Complete one of the FOUR proposed routes, either on pavement or gravel!
A friendly atmosphere, supportive environment, refreshments and surprises – everything is in place for a memorable day on the bike!
Reserve your spot for the CHALLENGE here
A word from the organizer, Marie-Soleil Blais
Following the success of the virtual cycling classes during the winter, the CHALLENGE event was born of a desire to create an opportunity to gather in person for the pleasure of riding and surpassing ourselves!
My deeper mission is to promote the integration of women into the cycling community by creating an accessible, stimulating and inclusive environment.
If you've never dared to participate in a cycling event, I hope the CHALLENGE will be the opportunity to experience it for the first time!

How it works
You can choose your distance on the morning of — or even along the way — since all courses start on the same roads.
There is no minimum speed required! Take all the time you need!
We will not form groups by speed. Instead, we will start in waves of 8 to 12 people, and once we leave Bromont, we will let the subgroups form naturally.
Everyone is free to go at their own pace, and we'll wait for everyone at the finish line!
Volunteers will be on the road to ensure everything runs smoothly and to promote the values of inclusion.
All bicycles are welcome (including e-bikes). The gravel courses have no technical sections.
Atmosphere at the finish
This year, the start/finish takes place at the Bromont Public Square, in the heart of the city of Bromont!
Upon your arrival, a hot meal and a Siboire beer will be waiting for you, and you will be invited to take a seat on the large terrace set up for the event.
This will be an opportunity to share your stories from the day and meet new people!
An artist will be on site to create an atmosphere all afternoon to celebrate your challenge.
When everyone is back, we will hold the participation draw!
