Rapha Brevet - Distance Yourself

Audax. Brevet. Touring. Randonneuring. The discipline of riding great distances goes by many names, but all share one thing in common: the only competition you face is with yourself. There’s no race times or podium placings, just the drive to complete your goal - however long you’re riding.
At the turn of the 20th century, French cyclist Paul de Vivie made it his mission to show the world that any ‘healthy organism’ could not only ride far, but find joy in the simple act of doing so. He penned seven cycle touring commandments to help guide aspiring randonneurs and, despite being written more than 100 years ago, they still serve as wise advice for anyone hoping to go the distance.

This is what Rapha films used to be about. Pleased you brought it back.

[@undrwings]

Please keep these films coming, and this type of focus.

Hooray for the return of this kind of great imagery and story telling. Bravo Rapha.

[@louis_sharp]

A proper Rapha film. Brilliant!

[@sham2bam]

I missed Rapha films like this one; these were the type that inspired me to ride when I was starting out (three years ago). Thank you for producing it! Onward #neverjustaride

No pandering in this video. No forced representation. Just classic Rapha goodness.

[@jamesclarkfilms]

You broke rule number 7. Don’t be a show off… this video is a masterpiece. Beautiful pace, beautiful shots. Makes me proud that one of my friends is part of your team.

never thought about it but totally true ! Something I learnt the hard way.

[@nickhill3868]

Did you guys break rule 5 with the bangers!!! Like so many have said this is a step in the right direction for the return of the inclusive and inspiring Rapha films of old. I do miss THE CONTINENTAL days and the films from that era

Thank God he didn't say anything about the beer!

[@ARGMTNT]

It’s called common sense . Peace ✌🏻

[@christianschaefer328]

On long trips me and me friends overeat multiple times a day, shit in the woods and drink enough rouge in order to get some sleep in uncomfy places. I prefer the rapha version 😅

[@randygravel2057]

never over pay for your cycling kit.

[@abhinavvamsiy]

Can I get a bike 🙄🥺

[@dejevi]

Most likely looking as Cafe du Cycliste ad (:

[@yannmoz]

I think it's Café du Cycliste ads that look like old Rapha Films ;-)

[@davidelibralesso4345]

With all due respect, first Rapha was born (thanks Simon) and then a bunch of other brands took inspiration a made their own path.
