In 2016 Gus Morton and his brother Lachlan (World Tour rider) set out on an adventure of discovery on two wheels, an adventure that would see them discover new places but also rediscover each other. They documented their ride and created the first Thereabouts film, this adventure took them across rural Australia and provided the world with a different perspective on elite cyclists. No speed, no watts, no distance, no doping, just two enthusiasts on a journey.
This year, Gus and his team have returned to the roads with a plan to go on more epic adventures and create a second ‘season’ of Thereabouts called Outskirts. This is the first instalment, with exclusive screenings at Rapha Soho and Rapha Spitalfields simultaneously.
This screening is free, but please RSVP via the ticket link to secure your seat.

Riding is the answer. Join us for our biggest summer of riding ever, from city rides to beginner programs to training rides preparing you for your next challenge. Keep following this page for upcoming rides and workshops or check out the Ride With Us page: http://bit.ly/_RideWithUs

We spend a lot of time training our legs, heart and lungs for maximum power and endurance. But neglecting to train your brain can undermine your training and lead to poorer outcomes. More importantly, you could be left feeling stressed, defeated and unhappy. Master your mind, though, and you will feel like you are flying both on and off the bike, and maybe even notch up a couple more successes along the way.
This event is free but spaces are limited, please RSVP via the ticket link.

If you're new to cycling and looking for a summer challenge, this year we've introduced the 80-mile Manchester to London short route. It's a perfect introduction to riding longer distances. Fully supported and signposted from start to finish, all you have to do is focus on the ride, and raising essential funds for Ambitious about Autism. Sign up now at rapha.cc/m2l

Summer is bursting with an abundance of sportives and riding challenges. Whether you're taking on London to Brighton, the Prudential Ride London, the L'Etape du Tour or Manchester to London, we'll cover the essential areas of sportive training with a talk from Jonny Bellis – an Olympian, a former European and national champion and now a qualified coach – and hosted by journalist and an experienced cyclist herself, Rebecca Charlton.
At the talk you'll learn:
Jonny's journey fr...om national championships to the Olympics to now
Your training and preparation pre-event
How to organise your ride day
Clothing/kit, food, drink, equipment
The event is free to attend but spaces are limited. Please register via the ticket link to confirm your space.

Don't forget to join us for a glass of wine in the sun tomorrow evening at our Women's Social. For a fantastic opportunity to meet other riders and chat cycling, drop in any time between 6-9pm.

Due to our prestige ride on Sunday, we will be closing at 4pm. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

An informal social, open to female riders of all abilities with drinks and nibbles, where you can meet the regular Rapha ride leaders and ask any questions or make suggestions of the rides you'd like to see, or ask any cycling questions you might have.

Don't forget to join us tonight for our Manchester to London evening. You'll learn about the route, the support, the charity Ambitious about Autism and hear from past riders. If you think 220 miles might be too much of a challenge, we also have an exciting announcement. Doors open at 6.30pm with complimentary drinks.

The M2L evenings offer a chance to learn about the ride first hand from Simon Mottram (Rapha Founder & CEO), Ambitious about Autism and riders who have completed the challenge in previous years. If you're wondering if this is the challenge for you, come along and learn more.
Doors will open at 6.30pm with food and drink, the speakers will start at 7pm.

Don't miss this tonight. Froth will fly.

This coming Monday the 9th April we will be closed until 2pm.
Spring is finally here and we'll be heading out for our first Clubhouse staff ride of the year.
Apologies in advance and thanks for your patience.

Rapha Spitalfields has a brand new look.
Join us this weekend to ride with us or watch Paris-Roubaix live from 11am on Sunday.

"Paris-Roubaix is bulls**t!" - Bernard Hinault
So goes the famous quote from cycling angriest legend The Badger, and this only moments after winning the race.
We'll be showing the sheer madness and brutality of this iconic race in all it's glory here in Rapha Spitalfields this Sunday, with live coverage of the full race starting from 11am, with the finish predicted for around 3.30pm.
... We'll be running a sweep stake at 50km to go, with the winner taking home one of our Roubaix graphic tee's, as well offering all beer at £2.50 a bottle while the race is live.
While there's no rain forecast for the day (boo), there's been a huge amount over the past few weeks (yay), and some of the cobbled sections are in a terrible state (bigger yay). Here's hoping Stybar rolls up to the start line on a Fatboy...
We can't see much further than Sagan or GVA for the win, but our GM Dan has a questionable soft spot for identikit classics rider and perennial nearly man Sep Vanmarcke. No, we don't get it either.
See you Sunday.

What is there to say! Rapha is a must go to place in an already exciting location of Spitalfields! #rapha_uk

Watched Giro d Italia live on the sceen

outside with great cake and coffee! Great shop too in a stunning a setting.

Very Friendly and Helpful Staff and well its Rapha, simple.

Staff is helpful and cool. I really enjoyed my visit today. I had coffee and tried clothes on. Cool :))

Rapha understand customer experience. And I get good experience at this store. Their products are famous for good reason anyway. Good coffee and beer. The staff have introduced me to amazing cyclists, including the women racers, and I get to learn loads. Totally recommend. (My only disappointment is the peanut butter brand - sometimes hungry returning from a ride I dream of the one they offered previously) �

Just asked if I can get a jersey upsize reduction due to all the weight Ive put on eating pastries and drinking Vedett IPA in CCSPT :)

If you know Rapha you know what to expect and Spitalfields doesn't disappoint. Great place and great clothes for a cyclist

Great selection of merchandise and loved the vib, the flat whites weren't bad either�

Great coffee, and even better egg avocado toast, great club rides, and awesome cycling clothing.

Good Location, Great staffs, Rapha Spitalfields is look like a Bike Cafe. Collection and stock may be less than SOHO but you can enjoy a chilling ambience there!!!

Excellent service, great products, and coffee - in a cyclists view, what's not to like



Highly recommended

Excelente lugar , integra la cotidianidad de un buen café , un trabajo y la pasión de la bici !!!!!

To be honest it is a poor shop for men’s clothing and all the bits inbetween only a very small amount to see coffee shop is ok but if you want to try or buy men’s clothing forget it and order online

Sadly think every thing about them is over priced and not that good.. plus the staff made the great mistake of being dam right rude to me

I was so dissapointed about the whole concept. Staff was uninterested in visiters, and only wanted to chat amongst themselves. Actually the visit to the store was one of my primary reasons to visit London - and nobody seemed to care. I wanted to join the RCC and had planned to spend at least 6-700£. But the guy in charge did not make anybody feel welcome - nor was he interested in having "outsiders" join the prestigious club. He just told me it was much easier to do everything online. Well, I Could have done that from home and saved the trip. Maybe Rapha are becoming such a success they forget all about What brought them to where they are today - attention to detail and Fantastic Cycling experiences for all of us who love cycling.

I just walked into the Spittalfield shop and bought a hot chocolate for myself and my wife we were dealt with quite rudely when ordering but thought nothing of it. While we waited I had a look round the shop and touched - not even picked up but touched a cycling cap. I turned round just in time to see the staff looking over and saying I wish people wouldnt f*cking touch stuff. I approached them and said oh am I not aloud to touch? No of course you are but people only look and not buy he replied. At this point it’s worth noting that I was wearing about £500 worth of rapha cycling gear. What are you talking about...

I really like Rapha cycling stuff but the staff really need to get over themselves. This isn’t the first time I’ve been spoken to like this at a clubhouse but at being reprimanded for looking to buy one of their products I felt that this time was a bit ridiculous
