Rapha has just unveiled its new Women’s 100 collection, an annual tradition now in its ninth year, which accompanies a global challenge for women to cycle 100km on the same day. This year’s Women’s 100 event will land on Sunday 12th September, and a♏ims to inspire thousands of women across the world to come together and share the road.
This year’s🌃 Women’s 100 kit design is sleek, colourful and reminiscent of impressionist paintings with its dapples of greens and blues paired with pink and yellow accents. According to Rapha, the collection draws inspiration from those women who pioneered the first-ever women&rsꦜquo;s cycling clubs.

After a year of having to ride apart, Rapha has set out to unify women cyclists with a Women’s 100 campaign that it says is bigger and better than ever. It includes group rides hosted across its Clubhouse and partnerꦦ cafe networks in various locations across the globe. ‘From dawn Down Under to sunset in San Francisco, all women; teammates, friends, t💖hose new to the sport and racers alike, are invited to come together on Sunday 12th September to go the distance’, says its press release.
The Rapha Women’s 100 collection is available to buy now, ready for training in the run-up to September’s g🍸lobal rides. Most of Rapha’s Clubhouses will be running training rides where COVID restrict꧃ions allow, plus there will be training sessions on Zwift, led by Rapha athletes and ambassadors.
For those who can’t, or would prefer not to ride🍌 outdoors, virtual community rides will also be taking place on Sunday 12th September alongside thꩲe real-world event. .
