Rapha Turkey Takeoff Challenge

This Thanksgiving, I'll be participating in Rapha's Turkey Takeoff : Burn 9000 Calories between November 23rd to 27th. While everyone will be feasting on large dinners, breakfasts, lunches, then back to dinners, remember to get out there and ride. Complete the challenge, and you'll receive a Rapha Turkey Takeoff badge. It's a great incentive to do what you're already doing so join up and do the challenge with me!

Rapha Jackets for the Rain

Rapha has 3 new rain jackets up. The first one, called Rain Jacket, is lightweight, breathable, and features waterproof zips.




The second is the City Rain Jacket. It carries some of the same qualities as the Rain Jacket, but is more stylish, windproof, and slightly heavier.




The last is the Women's Rain Jacket. Just like the Rain Jacket, but tailored for female riders.

Comin in with some heat, Rapha. Well played.

Rapha For The Rest Of Us

Rapha has sat outside most cyclists’ budget, but with their clearance items, you may be able to justify a new jersey after all. Click here for their clearance section.

Rapha + Paul Smith

Rapha + Paul Smith SS11 from RAPHA on Vimeo.

Rapha + Paul Smith has a full line of clothing and accessories available now. Some of the highlights include their perforated track gloves inspired by the hard working individuals in the velodrome.





I never enjoy rushing through traffic on my way to somewhere and neither do I like to show it. I can at least look well enough in their Windproof Cycling Shirt. Made from the same material as their rain jacket, they also offer jersey style pockets to alleviate carrying your bag everywhere you go.
