Etape du Tour Soirée

Alpe view
A day of three stinkers...

Rapha is offering RCUK 'readers' riding the Etape the chance to find out more about the route of this year's event.

Next week Rapha are holding two Etape evenings at their swanky Norf London office. On Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th Rapha will host 25 Etape riders and they will be joined by Tim Lawson of SiS, who will give a technical account of this year's course and advice on nutrition for the big day. There will also be some extended photographic coverage of the route, taken on Rapha's recent reconnaissance of the parcours.

There will also be discounts(!) on Rapha products (such as they have left in stock!).

Places will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. If any RCUK readers would like to attend, they should e-mail Rapha at info@rapha.cc

A big thanks to Tim Lawson of SIS, and Simon and his team at Rapha.
After all the miles and hours of training, this event was the icing on the cake.
Lots of very good information, clearly presented, and amusingly conveyed.
I now know that I can do this event, which up until now I was not confident of doing.
