Ten exciting new Rapha Travel destinations.

Friday, May 11 - Sunday, May 13

A relative newcomer to bikepacking, Sarah Hammond’s first crack of the long-distance whip came at the TransAm, a 6,900km across the USA in June 2016.

An alpine adventure awaits and the excitement builds ahead of another edition of l’Etape du Tour.

The intimate series Thereabouts has inspired riders around the world. Now its creators are partnering with Rapha to produce an incredible new series.

Phil Deeker, founder of Rapha Travel’s Cent Cols Challenge, set out to ride 1,000 mountains in 100 days – the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest 50 times.

In January, Rapha photographer and filmmaker George Marshall travelled to northern Argentina with long-distance riders Jesse Carlsson, Sarah Hammond and Neil Phillips.

As Rapha explores the theme of exploration, we are publishing an extraordinary account of adventure cycling in the 1980s from Mondial Four.

At Rapha Travel, we’re in the business of exploring. This year sees our most diverse range of trips ever, with adventures across Europe, USA, Japan and beyond.

A whole new way to dress for exploration. Films and features that explore the roads less travelled. Trips, rides and events to help you go until life looks less familiar.

This season we welcome a series of improvements to much-loved favourites, and new colours across the collection.

The Classics never get old.

The yellow jersey. Polka dots. Pink or red. Whether it’s leaders jerseys, checkered flags, team colours and rainbow bands, cycling has always been a riot of colour.

Cyclocross is a sport as ugly as it is beautiful. Held in extreme weather, on dusty fields and in frozen forests filled with fans.

‘Tis the season. Give the gift of riding with the perfect Rapha present designed to keep the cyclist in your life on the bike all year round, whether it’s a pair of our merino socks or a full on-bike ensemble.

Spring is the time to look ahead. Riding ambitions for the year begin to take shape, and the racing season starts to rear its head.

Enjoying your ride shouldn’t come down to a game of chance. Plan ahead, check the forecast and make sure you’re ready to ride through the best and the worst of the weather ahead with versatile clothing that allows you to be flexible.

To celebrate the publication of Mondial 006, Rapha is hosting three events featuring contributors to the magazine.

Whether it’s an early start or late finish, a grey winter day or a foggy spring morning, road cyclists are especially vulnerable when the light dips.

Staying warm when out on the road is all about effective layering. Use our guide and learn the principles for dressing correctly for the colder days.

Preparation is the best solution to riding in the rain. Wet bodies lose heat faster than they dry, and cold bodies don’t work efficiently.

Warmth without weight

Rapha have been protecting riders from the elements for more than a decade. The Classic Rain Jacket II takes all we’ve learned and distills it into a versatile waterproof shell.
