“Boudicca was the Queen of the Iceni who led a revolt against Roman rule in ancient Britain around 60-61 AD. A warrior queen, she was a true inspiration to women and a hero to her people. She might have failed in her quest but she gave it everything she had. The Warrior Games has created a three-day stage race in her honour open to all female Zwifting warriors.”
The Warrior Games has announced the fifth edition of Tour de Boudicca, a popular women’s stage race. Registration deadline is January 4, with stage 1 kicking off January 12th. See below for our summary of the event, and read the full race document for details.
