Overview
Join Rapha London for a special ride open to anyone observing Ramadan. Taking place on the evening of Wednesday April 5th, riders will meet at 6.30pm for an easy, social ride around the popular loop of Regent's Park before heading to the Rapha Clubhouse in Soho for Iftar. There will be led groups, at least one women-specific group with a female ride leader, and the option to ride in a self-led group. This ride is designed to bring the Muslim cycling community together to ride and celebrate Ramadan. It's also a great opportunity to get some miles in if you are taking part in the Fasted 500. The price of the ride and iftar is free, but we encourage riders to make a donation to the Islamic Relief Turkiye-Syria Earthquake Appeal, to give to those who are in need.
