Raids

Raids are for riders who enjoy going off the beaten track to explore lesser-known but nonetheless spectacular destinations.

A support vehicle and a team of seasoned Rapha ride leaders will provide mechanical and full logistical support in facilitating these adventures on unknown roads through wild and unspoilt landscapes.

Each night we’ll greet you with hearty food and charming accommodation, to prepare you for another day’s exploring. This is cycling taken back to the essentials: a bike, a fantastic route to ride, and the self-imposed challenges that brings.

FAQ

  • Am I strong enough for the trip?

    Raids are among our toughest trips with roads and terrain off the beaten track. Our guides and mechanics will support every rider to go beyond their usual level of riding. Each individual trip is rated for difficulty.

  • Can I rent a bike?

    We have a fleet of top-specification bikes available for hire on our European departures. We ask that guests requiring a bike tell us as far as is possible in advance, so we can guarantee the right size is available, and also to send us your fit measurements, so our mechanics can set up the bike for you ready for the start of your trip. If you’re renting a bike you need to remember to bring your helmet and pedals.
