Would you like some motivational help? The winter bitch parade is back.

As a cyclist, you are happy about nice weather. Shorts, short-sleeved jersey, white socks, sunshine and a good bike: That fits like a glove on a road bike ride. But we also have a heart...

    mare kicking. Road bike rides for women only.

    What happened until now… In 2013, for the first time, we tried to mobilize as many women as possible for the Rapha Women's 100 as part of the classics ride. The call was followed by...

      When the hat goes on a journey...

      ...then she can tell something. When almost the entire team of the cap sets out on different paths in the direction of Bella Italia, then there are enough stories. A reason for us to fire...

          Stutenbeiken Vol. 5 - Behind the six or seven mountains

          What has happened so far: The Women's 100 is certainly still vivid in the memories of the many female riders. What not so many will remember is the 3rd Stutenbeken, which took place in June,...

              Women's 100 - International Women's Day of Smiles

              Rapha did a pretty good job of that. For a few years there has been an International Women's Day for road cyclists, on which women all over the world get on their bikes with a...

                Prestige hats on a long journey

                "Lächle du Sau" is written in curved letters on the redesigned jersey sets and it turned out that this one-liner should actually have the makings of a motto... After this very successful visit from Rapha in May...

                  Attention bezoek van de kust – Giro Di Caffè in the cap!

                  Posting an original story after a great ride has become increasingly difficult over the years. Firstly, because we've done this often enough here, especially on our classics page, and are so reluctant to repeat ourselves....

                    Giro Di Caffè - The caffeine-loving exit from the Netherlands as a guest in the cap

                    In August 2013 we visited the Dutch Radcafé Lola in The Hague with a small delegation from Düsseldorf, where our friend Paul Sneeboer organized a trip that day as part of his Giro Di Caffè...

                      Up + Down. The Mobile Cycle Club visits the cap

                      A few years ago we suggested that German fellow riders in Mallorca visit the local Rapha pop-up store. At the time the favorites in “our” peloton were Assos, Gore and Gonso. Nobody had heard of...

                        Stutenbeiken Vol. 3 – The smile suits her well

                        Our Stutenbeiken goes into the third round. Not on the third Sunday in May, as originally planned, but only in June. Unfortunately, too many other events and appointments in May leave us no other choice...

                          2. Stutenbeiken 2015 – We keep smiling

                          After the great encouragement of the 1st Stutenbeiken in March, where 13 good-humored riders in the chic caps had gathered despite the less than riding-friendly weather with drizzle and a decent headwind, the 2nd country...

                            Up + Down. Rapha guest in the cap…

                            During our visit to Eurobike last year, one of the highlights of the day was the evening trips organized by Rapha into the Friedrichshafen area. The contacts that were made there while pedaling often turned...

                              Start the season with the cute starter package

                              In the morning, on the way to the cap, we teased that with the rather cool and thoroughly gray morning, no newcomer would probably want to go on a novice tour. Far from it, at...
