Rapha Pop-Up - MELBOURNE

This weekend sees the arrival of Rapha's first pop-up within Australia... and we're excited to see that Melbourne is the host city. 

Located in the Heritage listed Coops Shot Tower, on the outskirts of the iconic Melbourne Central building visiting the Rapha pop-up is a cycling must.

Officially opening on Sunday 29th November, we spoke to the team at Rapha about the Melbourne pop-up. It's designed to be a meeting place for all riders from Melbourne and its surrounds. The pop-up will host rides, exhibitions and community events as well as the latest products from Rapha's range. 

Prior to landing in Melbourne, the pop-up has made its way around the world following its debut in Denver, USA. We're excited to see the Melbourne cycling community use the Rapha pop-up as an opportunity to meet new people and get an insight into Melbourne's rich cycling history.

If other Rapha events are anything to go by, visiting the pop-up should be a great experience. It's sure to be far more than your average store.

WHERE

202 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, Victoria.

WHEN

Open during the hours of 7am to 7pm, Monday through to Saturday, and 10am to 6pm on Sundays up until Christmas Eve.

MAAP

Melbourne based MAAP hit the market in October 2014 across a select network of cycling boutiques as well as a dedicated online site. 

If you're out riding, you'll likely see someone in the distinctive range of MAAP socks and now their extended range of cycling gear is gaining momentum.

Mike Boudrie caught up with the guys behind MAAP to find out what they are all about.

Rapha Cycle Club

Today we are having a look at the recently established Rapha Cycle Club. The RCC is a club for riders who want to be on the ‘road less travelled’. It’s also a club that is about shared experiences, it is about bringing together those that share the passion, the suffering and embracing the experience that those things bring. 

We spoke with some of the Melbourne RCC members to find out what it's all about.
