Randonnées

A Randonnée is the cycling holiday of a lifetime. These point-to-point adventures cover cycling’s most celebrated landscapes, challenging and inspiring riders in equal measure.

During these Rapha Travel signature departures, team cars and experienced guides will be on hand with local knowledge, a morale-boosting chat or a full bidon every pedal-stroke of the way. And, at the end of the day, you’ll simply hand your bike over to our mechanics, who will return them in top condition the next morning.

In the evenings all you have to do is enjoy your appointment with our pro-level soigneur, sample the regional wines and cuisine, and relax in our carefully chosen accommodation – Alpine chateaux or luxury Italian guesthouses are the norm.

For a true sense of how it feels to race as a pro this route is hard to beat. Riders tackle the incredible climbs which feature in the Tour de France year on year. On the third day, after climbing two ‘hors catégorie’ climbs, the ride ends with a summit finish up Alpe d'Huez.

Colombia. Unknown, unpredictable, simplified and amplified. This journey will take you from Bogotá to Cali over the three mountain ranges of the Cordillera de los Andes: Oriental, Central, Occidental. From jungle to páramos, over the mighty Letras climb and onto the Cafetera region, new cycling adventures await. ¡Vamos!

FAQ

  • Am I strong enough for the trip?

    Randonnées are among the longest of our trips however our guides, soigneurs and mechanics will support every rider to go beyond their usual level of riding. Each individual Randonnée is rated for difficulty and the specific trip page will describe the amount of riding to help you decide if it’s right for you.

  • 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 own helmet and pedals.
