Rapha will be running regular rides between December and March, starting with the global Braver than the Elements ride on 17th December. You can join a Rapha ride near you or simply take to the roads and chart your ride using the hashtag #BraverThanTheElements.

Alongside the rides Rapha are sharing stories and tips online starting with Ellen Noble’s Winter riding guide. Ellen Noble was born in Maine, on America’s east coast, where the winters are sub-zero and a quality snow shovel is a necessity. But as the temperature drops, the Rapha-Focus rider and USA Cycling cyclocross national champion doesn’t stop riding. As soon as the weather turns you’ll see her racing through rain, sleet and snow off-road, on gravel trails and often through copious amounts of mud. Ellen has developed some tricks to keep her riding in the winter months and braving the elements. She shares them here
