The RCC membership comes packed with perks, but if you want to try before you buy, join one of our weekly open rides first.
Every Wednesday
Rapha Manchester opens an hour later than normal on Wednesdays, to allow some time for the team to ride together, and we're inviting our members and friends to come along.
A great opportunity for members to get to know and ride alongside the Clubhouse team through a rotation of social, intermediate and gravel rides.
The route can be found on the RCC app or on our Strava club for non-members. This ride is not RCC exclusive.
Every Saturday
New for 2025, our Saturdays are now dedicated to our weekly Club ride.
These rides will follow a progressive approach, offering different-paced groups on each ride. The routes will gradually increase in distance each week, culminating in a long ride on the final Saturday of the month.
Intermediate pace - 28/29 kph
Social pace- 25/26 kph
RCC members can sign up to the Intermediate and Social group via the RCC app. Non- RCC members can sign up to the Social group via our Strava Club or Instagram page.

At Rapha Manchester, we pride ourselves on our unique rides and events that make up part of our calendar.
Bookending the season, the 'Cap 160' and 'Cap 180' have been long-standing staples of our ride calendar.
The Cappuccino 160 is a great way to test your early season legs in March through a hilly 160km route, whilst the Cappuccino 180 allows you one last opportunity to test your legs in October, on a flatter, faster course.
Setting off in three minute intervals, teams will tackle the route - including a compulsory 30min cappuccino stop - with the ultimate aim of taking home the Cappuccino Cup for being the fastest team.
But it’s not all about speed, there’s more to it than that. This event is a celebration of the camaraderie and friendship forged between club members, and the joy of being on the road with your club mates.
Sign up for the Cappuccino 160 can be found on the RCC app.
Our homage to the World's best bike races.
We are all big fans of bike racing here- so we pride ourselves on putting on tribute rides that emulate the biggest rides of the year. Expect monuments and Grand Tour tributes alike!
Always taking place on the same day as the races themselves, expect a parcours that will bring similar challenges to the professional races. Post-ride, we invite you back to the Clubhouse for a refreshment and to catch the closing stages of the race.
We sometimes start and finish these rides at different locations to account for the terrain you will take in on these rides.
Ride details, along with the route can be found on the RCC app.
