Rapha Seattle

Rapha Seattle’s FAR is just a couple weeks away, Saturday August 3rd.

As part of a series of rides throughout North America, FAR is designed to offer unexpected adventures on lesser-known roads, helping RCC members create long-lasting memories and friendships by way of the bike.

RCCSEA’s FAR will take riders out to the Kitsap Peninsula where you’ll ride along the Hood Canal, a fjord carved by the glaciers of the last ice age, and get to explore the backroads of the Tahuya Hills.

There are still a few spots available for this amazing adventure. Information and registration on the RCC App.

This year, Rapha introduces FAR for the Rapha Cycling Club. Spanning eight cities in the United States from June through October, FAR promises an unexpected adventure on the lesser-known roads of America. FAR will prove to be a challenge, but one that’s not out of reach. Participants will experience the truest meaning of resilience, and forge new friendships along the way.

To ride FAR, view the calendar and join the RCC via the link in our bio.

What my foster friends at Rapha Seattle say about me:

I’m a frame size small, and looking for an enthusiastic rider between 157-170 cm or 5’1” to 5’5”. I enjoy shredding on all road types and conditions, it’s what I’m made for! I’m fitted with 35 mm tires currently, but I have a tire clearance of 40mm, perfect for a date with some deep gravel. I have a fancy 1x13 Campagnolo Ektar groupset, 42t chainring and a 9-42t cassette.

I’m up to date on all vaccinations and have a clean bill of health from Cascade Bicycle Studio. I’ve been well taken care of by the Rapha bike hire program but I’m looking for my forever home now.

My adoption fee is 1,950 Euros. I’d love to meet you!
