要在歲末佳節期間騎完五百公里對多數人來說就已經夠挑戰了，但某些騎士們總是會覺得自己必須要更進一步、精益求精。在您開始進行自己今年的騎乘之前，看看這一篇西雅圖Brevet騎旅的故事來找尋靈感，或是記取教訓和警誡。

The Cent Cols Challenge: As you begin to take in everything the mountains have to offer, you lose track of your normal life back home.

Rapha Ambassador Sarah Hammond won the inaugural edition of Australia’s Race to the Rock – a 2,300km unsupported race from Adelaide to Uluru – and was the only person to complete the course.

At first you try to avoid it. The circumstances are just right: 15 degrees, dry roads and surroundings in blossom. All those hours in the basement will now prove themselves worth it. Time to go outdoors.

It’s not possible. 100 mountain passes in 10 days. 200km a day with 5,000m of climbing. Let’s talk over drinks first before deciding anything… Who are the guys riding this? What is driving them?

For the launch of the Brevet collection, three riders travelled to South Africa to explore part of the Tour of Ara – a 700km race across some of the country’s most notorious and challenging terrain.

Rasmus Helt Poulsen shares his approach to the Cent Cols Challenge where taking the shortcut is not an option.

The Rapha Continental began in 2007 to explore the road less travelled, discovering those things you only find out on the open road with your fellow riders.

The UK Continental's first journey of 2013 took our riders to Wales to investigate the route of the Bryan Chapman Memorial.

The centenary of the Col du Tourmalet's inclusion in the Tour de France will be celebrated with a mountain-top finish on stage 17 of the 2010 edition of the race.

Over the last three years the riders of the Rapha Continental have explored some of the most beautiful regions and roads in North America.
