Rapha have ridden a wave of success since the mid 2000s. From prying many of us out of FDJ, Credit Agricole and and Banesto trade team clothing, into cycling gear with considered design, functional fit - and with items that are removed from purely catering foer the pro peleton.

Rapha have been opening Club Houses around the world, and you might have dropped into one already. The Mobile Clubhouse is a different beast - it's a way to bring the concept, the coffee - and let's be honest, the branding - out on the open road. Rapha are about cycling, travelling and explorinig, and the Mobile Clubhouse means they can get out and about wherever they want.

Hit the road - keep an eye out for the Rapha Mobile Clubhouse.

The Rapha Passport rides are a series of rides that have been planned to celebrate the more adventurous sides of cycling in Australia. And the first Passport ride is coming to Queensland on May 21st.

This first ride is the Palmwoods Passport ride, devised with local input, and it is a route that couldn't be mistaken for being any other than the Queensland Sunshine Coast - and it's hinterland.

The route will leave Lemon Park, Palmwoods, at 9am - but feel free to arrive at 7:30am for coffee. The ride will be 107km, and expect a pace of 28km/h. You can view the proposed route here. There are two major climbs and one stretch of gravel to negotiate. While the day isn't about competition, there will be some prizes for the best uploaded times to Strava, and a few other random prizes along the way.

If you're interested, be sure to RSVP as numbers are limited, If you need a few more details head to the event page.
