Description: Now in its eighth year, the Rapha Women’s 100 challenges riders around the world to share the road and ride 100 kilometres together on the same day. 2020 may be looking a little bit different to previous years and coming together can be complicated, but there is still a way. ⁣ ⁣ To conjure the collective spirit of the challenge, we asked ultra-endurance cyclist, writer and all-round riding inspiration Emily Chappell to introduce us to a simple concept she uses to keep riding, no matter what. In her toughest moments on the bike, Emily thinks about the women who inspire her. She imagines them riding along beside her, chivvying, challenging and encouraging her to keep going. This is her invisible peloton.⁣ ⁣ To celebrate the 2020 #Womens100, we’re sharing Emily’s peloton to help get you thinking about who would be in yours. ⁣ Look out for details on how to nominate your own invisible peloton coming over the next few weeks ahead of the big day on 6th September.
