If you've joined us for more than three Club Rides, we ask that you consider joining the Club in an official capacity.
We also ask that you take responsibility of your own fitness capabilities and determine which route and pace are suitable for you before you join a ride.
If you're unsure, get in touch with any of the Ride Leaders via our WhatsApp chat.
We have several speeds for our Open Ride:
Our official Rapha Rides are staffed by our Ride Leader team. You'll always have a Ride Leader navigating on/near the front, and a Sweep looking out for you at the back. Let the Sweep know immediately if you're struggling, so we can keep an eye out for you.
We have set up our weekly Open Riverloop Ride to have faster groups go first, so that if you struggle with the pace of the group you're in, you can drop back to the group behind for an easier finish.
Rides specified as no-drop will regroup where it's safe to do so.
In the event of a mechanical, raise your hand, call "Mechanical" and if possible stop in a safe place away from traffic. A Ride Leader will ensure the group is in a safe spot off the road before assisting you.
If you've never ridden in a bunch before, check out our Ride Guidelines.
Book your spot for our next Rapha 101 session, or join us on Friday morning for our Rapha Riverloop, with multiple speed groups to choose from and the safety and support of Rapha Ride Leaders - no RCC Membership necessary.
While our Ride Leaders are here to help you in the event of a mechanical, it is your responsibility to be self-sufficient on the open road as spares and supplies are limited. Requirements include:
Absolutely not! Wear whatever makes you feel good.
