PROVEN IN THE PELOTON LA GRANDE ARRIVÉE |
From Florence to Nice, 3,498 kilometres, 52,230 metres of climbing. Zut alors, what a Tour. As it comes to a close, we salute our men in pink, EF Education–EasyPost, for lighting up the world’s greatest race. A day in yellow in week one for Richard Carapaz and an emphatic stage victory in the Alps before claiming the polka dot jersey on the highest point of the race made this a July to savour for the Ecuadorian.\xa0 An almighty escapade on stage 14 for Ben Healy too, which saw the Irishman narrowly miss bagging his first Tour stage. Chapeau. Tap through to see the Pro Team innovations proven at the Tour by EF Pro Cycling.

“I waited five hours for the race to show up. When it passed my spot, the break had just been caught, and one of the favourites had just attacked. I saw Pogačar and Vingegaard locked on to one another, with Remco Evenepoel and Richard Carapaz just struggling off the back.”
Our man from the Rapha Clubhouse in Boulder, CO – Gordon Saur – has been following the great race in a rental campervan. Read his summary of the experience.

RAPHA20 EDITIONS DATA PRINT |
First released in 2015 the Pro Team Data Print marked a new era for Rapha’s approach to performance and style. Inspired by the journey of British professional Peter Kennaugh at the 2013 Tour, the process used measurements of an anonymous rider’s distance, elevation gain and TSS (Training Stress Score) levels to fashion beauty out of the stats. The 2024 Data Print collector’s set, resurrects this groundbreaking design on our latest Pro Team Aero Jersey and Base Layer.\xa0

Speaking of grand tours, there’s a lot happening in the USA for RCC members this August, with two FAR rides in Seattle and Chicago. The Seattle FAR will take our members on a 90 mile ride through Tahuya, and our Chicago FAR is a 60 mile ride to Willow Springs. The FAR is a series of semi-supported rides for RCC members, leaving you to focus on a challenging but very rewarding day out. There are still spaces available for both these rides, alongside FARs later in the year. Sign up through the app to secure your spot.
The first edition of FAR took place in the vicinity of Boulder, Colorado in early June. Members travelled from as far as Mexico City to traverse the magnificent Rockies and pedal their way up Mt. Blue Sky, one of the few paved ‘Fourteeners’ [a mountain pass that rises above 14,000 feet] in the state. We checked in with RCC Member 51117, Taylor Triolo, who gave us a close-up of her big day out.\xa0
