Rapha Manchester x Assembly: TransPennine Ride
We are heading across the Peak District on a cafe ride with Assembly to Sheffield's Depot Bakery.
SOLD OUT
Overview
We all know just how well coffee and cycling go hand in hand. So when Assembly, our new Clubhouse coffee supplier, reached out and said they wanted to go for a ride, how could we say no? To celebrate this new partnership and the wider community around it, we’ll be setting off on a special ride from Rapha Manchester, heading through the Peak District, and finishing up in Sheffield at Depot, another proud Assembly partner.
