New Winter collections: The Rider’s Paradox

We all know the feeling before a winter ride. You tell yourself that you want to go out, but part of you would rather stay inside. It’s warm in here, and wet out there. Already two reasons not to ride, and there are plenty more besides. But overcome the uncertainty, dispel your self-doubt, and you know you’ll enjoy it. If not at first, then certainly later. There are thresholds to be crossed – shivers the door and spray on your shins – but cross them you will. Over the crest of the first hill, with blood pumping and a smile spreading, indecision gives way to determination. Reasons to stay inside are replaced with reasons to ride. In spite of the weather, or perhaps because of it, you’re enjoying yourself. But that’s the thing, you always knew you would. Shop now: www.rapha.cc
