There’s excitement brewing amongst cycling fans throughout the land. The reason? The flagship Rapha Cycle Club in London opens this Saturday July 21st.
Not only is this the best place to watch Bradley Wiggins and his trusty sideburns ride to an historic Tour victory this weekend (if he does, all can enjoy a glass of Champagne), it will be the venue for meeting like-minded riders, enjoying gourmet coffee, food and drink, browsing the best cycling clothing, accessories and literature and, of course, watching road racing all day long.

It's been almost a month since the Rapha Cycle Club on Mallorca closed its doors, and I for one am missing it. I'm missing the sun, the sea, the riding, the food and I'm missing meeting hoards of interesting new people who came through the doors each day.
In fact, we were lucky enough to have more than 5000 of you come and visit us at some point. For some the visit was fleeting - quickly jumping off the bike to come and buy something - but most were happy to lean the bikes up outside, drink a coffee or two, sit around and chat, maybe even watch one of the Spring Classics.
