Why We Ride
Rapha products for women have been created for riders who share our passion for road riding. Riders who know, or are learning that, with friends you are never lost and that road riding can help you learn as much about yourself as the world around you. The road is full of climbs and descents, full of headwinds and rain.
Have courage. Don’t stop. We all suffer.

The Triple Crown
It was hard.
The Triple Crown is loosely defined as the summiting of Vancouver’s Seymour, Grouse and Cypress mountains in one effort. There’s no rule regarding in what order the climbs must be done, only that they have to be completed in one day.

Giro Donne
In June, five women rode six classic stages of the Giro Donne, two weeks ahead of the official 2012 race. Currently the only Grand Tour in women’s racing, this year Marianne Vos defended her 2011 title from Italy’s barren, dusty south up to the Dolomites. Britain’s Emma Pooley placed second and was queen of the mountains.

The Rapha Women's Prestige has quickly and easily become one of the most popular and exciting events that we do each year. To see all the teams gathered outside the SF Cycle Club in the bright early morning sunshine that is only available this time of year in California is a thing to behold. In only its second year the race has nearly doubled in size with no signs of slowing — and even some requests to hold one in other parts of the country. The beauty of the race, aside from a stunning cruise or two over the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge was the enthusiasm to tackle the tough race, which was made harder after last years route was deemed too easy. Well, it turns out that it was definitely more difficult this time around, and if it wasn't enough to knock your socks off, it was at least enough to make your arm warmers sag. Official results can be found here.
