RAPHA CYCLING CLUB
The Rapha Cycling Club is the world’s most connected network of cyclists. United by a love of the sport, it’s a place for riders to commit, compete and create fierce camaraderie together.
RCC members gain exclusive access to our best weekly rides – from weekday rituals, to weekend adventures, plus seasonal challenges like FAR.
Not yet a member? Whether you are newer to the sport, or looking to finesse your skills with a friendly bunch, we invite you to join an open ride to connect with the community, and get a feel for what Club membership offers.
Please note: All RCC-exclusive rides are accessed through the RCC app. All Open rides are clearly marked and can be booked below.
REGULAR RIDE SCHEDULE
Our regular rides form the foundation of our Club and are ideal for developing consistency and rhythm while remaining connected to club mates throughout the year.
These rides are generally open and a great way to get to know the RCC. You will always find a ride leader on these rides and the pace will match what's been advertised.
Please note: If you are new to riding with us, please introduce yourself to the ride leader when you arrive to ensure you have everything you need.

General
How do I become a RCC member?
You can purchase RCC membership here.
Rides
Where do I start?
We pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive Riding Calendar that is designed for progression.
So whether you're a new cyclist to the road or you've been cycling for a while and want to push it further, we have Open and Club ride options for you.
To develop your group riding skills, we recommend joining one of our regular weekday rides and/or choosing a ride that is marked Beginner or Social, depending on your experience.
Can I join any ride?
Rides on this site that have booking information are open to anyone. Other rides are exclusive to RCC members and are listed for informational purposes only.
RCC members are able to see all the details and RSVP for these rides viat the RCC App.
Regardless of which ride you join, we 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.
How do I register for rides?
You can register via Easol for Open Rides, while Club Rides are available to RCC members via the RCC app. By joining any of our rides and events, you agree that you have read, understood, and signed our Open Ride Waiver and you have expressly agreed to the terms and conditions.
If you've joined us for more than three Open Rides, we ask that you consider joining the Club in an official capacity.
What are the rules?
If you've never ridden in a bunch before, or you are new to Rapha, be sure to check out our RCCSEA Ride Guidelines here.
What should I bring to a ride?
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:
• A road bike with drop handlebars and gears in good working order. (Flat handlebars, fixed geared and time-trial bikes are a risk in group rides and are not allowed unless otherwise specified.)
• A US DOT or US CPSC approved helmet.
• Charged front and rear lights (set to solid, not flashing).
• Necessary tools to be self-sufficient (e.g inner tube, tire levers, multitool, pump/Co2 canisters).
• Adequate fluid and food.
• ID and emergency contact information.
• Headphones/earpieces are not to be worn as you are required to hear calls and instructions unobstructed.
What pace are the rides?
We have several paces for our Open and Club rides. Please use your discretion and make note of the posted pace when booking rides.
Paces (Average km/h):
• Beginner: 12 mph
• Social: 14 mph
• Intermediate: 16 mph
• Advanced: 17.5 mph
• Advanced Drop: 18.5 mph
Who leads the ride?
Our team of Local Rapha Ride Leaders will always be on the ride to show you the route and help you have a great experience.
What is the route for the ride?
We always aim to have the route uploaded to the RCC app or Easol prior to the ride. If in doubt, you can message the Ride Leader via the app or the Seattle team via email to find out more.
What should I do if I'm struggling?
All 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 Ride Leader Sweep looking out for you at the back.
Please let a Sweep know immediately if you're struggling so we can keep an eye out for you.
If you're struggling off the back, our Ride Leaders will simply sit on your wheel behind you, protecting you from traffic behind and ensure you are safely staying within your limit. You'll never ride alone on a RCC Ride.
There's no pressure to push yourself beyond what you're capable of at the RCC, especially when our no-drop rides will regroup at the top.
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 with any issue you may have.
Do I have to wear Rapha kit?
Absolutely not! Come dressed in whatever makes you feel good. If you are unsure of what to wear, stop by the Clubhouse for our team's recommendations.
Events
Can I attend any event?
Absolutely! Events listed on this site are generally open to the community and a great way to gain familiarity with the RCC and find ways to plug in.
