What's On?

Please follow @RaphaCycleClub on Twitter with the hashtag #ldncc for news, commentary and group ride info from the London Cycle Club.

Regular Rides and Events

Below you will find information on our weekly rides. Please refer to our twitter feed @raphacycleclub #LDN or email londoncycleclub@rapha.cc or for more information.

Please sign up using the buttons below if you would like to ride. Please take note of the average speeds of the rides below as a guide of what's right for you. We advise bringing inner tubes and other spares on all our rides as they are not supported and since we're riding in groups, please ensure your road bike or single speed has working brakes. We recommend wearing a helmet.

Don't forget to stamp your ride card before we set off from the Cycle Club. Anyone who purchases a pre-ride coffee earns a complimentary one on their return to the Club.

To note:

Rapha’s Thursday evening and Saturday rides from the London Cycle Club have been proved a success, with more and more riders participating each week. We had originally anticipated groups of dozen or so riders but recent rides have seen numbers increase significantly, often to as many as four times that number, particularly on Thursday rides.

The Thursday rides have, to a certain extent, become victims of that success. Leading large groups along Regent’s Street during rush hour has become increasingly problematic and last week, a rider suffered a fall and broke his collarbone. With safety our paramount concern, it has become apparent that we cannot continue to lead rides from the Cycle Club on Thursday evenings. Although we strongly encourage riders to meet at the Cycle Club for evening rides, we would advise them to do so in smaller groups.

We will continue to lead the Saturday rides, as these head out of London outside of peak hours and on less busy roads. Keep an eye on @RaphaCycleClub for upcoming news on rides and events.

Wednesday Women's Rides

The first in a series of women's rides leading up to the Rapha Women’s 100 will take place on Wednesday 5th June and head into Regents Park. We will start and finish at the London Cycle Club in Brewer Street, with a meeting time of 18:00 and roll-out at 18:30. 

The ride will be led by two Rapha women at a conversational pace, however there will the opportunity to add efforts for those wishing to do so. As the group is likely to split during rotations of the park, we will meet at the Royal College of Physicians (on the outer circle) at 20:00 and return together to the Cycle Club for refreshments. 
Please bring essentials such as inner tubes, basic tools, lights and money as the ride is unsupported. There will also be the option to leave bags at the Cycle Club whilst riding. To sign-up please click the button below.

Saturday morning

Our Saturday rides are a bit more challenging and aim to cover between 100km and 120km. Led by knowledgable Rapha guides at a social pace of around 25kp/h we also aim for a cafe stop around the halfway point. Meeting outside the Rapha Cycle Club on Brewer Street at 08:30 for a 09:00 depart. To sign-up please click the button below.

Routes will vary so please refer to our twitter feed @raphacycleclub #LDN for updates from Wednesday onwards on routes - or email londoncycleclub@rapha.cc for more information.

Etape Evening

On the 14th July, having done a full reconnaissance of the route, presentations from Rapha and Cyclefit will provide detailed advice on what to expect along the road, some cultural background to the region and insights on riding tactics, gearing and fuelling. To book you place please click here

Le Tour and Live Racing

Live racing is shown on the screens at the Cycle Club with the Tour as the main focus in July (of course!). Stages will be shown live everyday with repeats in the evening. We'll also have an exhibition of posters celebrating ten decades of the Tour, exclusively designed for Rapha by ten illustrators.
