Rapha Chicago

Chicago’s cycling history is long and storied. It was once the bicycle-building capital of the USA, has been home to 10 velodromes over the years, and still produces weather-hardened riders who play a part in a strong cycling culture. In keeping with the city’s cycling tradition, the Clubhouse is well-placed for access to the city’s riding, whether that be early morning intervals near Lake Shore or longer excursions past the northern suburbs. The Rapha Cycling Club (RCC) chapter runs regular rides out of the city along some of the best and lesser-known roads.
