Women’s Cycling Collective:
Century Litha
Date: Saturday, June 20th
Start time: 7:55am
Location: Champlain Orchards, Shoreham, Vermont
Come join a community of warm, endurance minded, bright spirited
women riders as we celebrate the summer solstice with a 100/50mi journey through the rolling gravel hills of Addison County, starting and ending at Champlain Orchards, one of the oldest, continually operating orchards in Vermont. Whether you're experienced with rides of longer duration or have been working to develop comfort and confidence as you build your capacity, there's opportunity here for you. Women's Cycling Collective is focused on offering collaborative, rider-focused events designed to support, encourage and connect women while they explore their potential through the context of the bike and the lens of endurance, training, and the natural world. We invite you to be part of the collective energy that serves to uplift, empower, and inspire women both on and off the bike.
Thank you to our generous business supporters and partners for enriching rider experience and making this event possible: Velocio, Physical Therapy, Frog Hollow Bikes, Bennett Creative Co., Champlain Orchards, Twig Farm, Bivo, and Bicycle Express.

For women completing the 100, this will provide a sense of familiarity in the second half, with a different perspective and feel since riding in the opposite direction.
Since our personal paces vary, many women will have crossover as they complete the first fifty miles and/or continue for a second lap as they work towards one hundred, promoting a sense of togetherness, an opportunity to cheer each other along, or simply share a smile or wave in recognition of our shared experience.
The route will be partially marked. Riders are expected to carry bike computers/GPS/phones that can support navigation.

Now in its fourth edition, the 2026 Endless Mountains Adventure Race is returning to its roots as a five-day non-stop expedition race. This year's race will be headquartered out of North Adams, MA,
and the course will take you on an entirely new journey of southern Vermont. Over those five days, teams will get to explore rolling mountains, lush forests, majestic waterways, iconic gravel, and twisty single track on a course that calls to mind the Untamed New England expeditions of years past and pairs it with the classic Rootstock flair that you have come to expect from Endless.
Endless Mountains is the setting to challenge veteran adventure racers and offer an accessible entry point to those eager to take on their first expedition race. Teams of 2-4 will journey across some of New England's best adventure-land. Along the way, they will be called upon to work together to meet the challenges that only expedition racing can offer – challenging overland navigation, wild terrain, sleepmonsters, and weather that can tame even the most hardened outdoor enthusiasts. It is in those moments where the best stories are written!
