Do you organise weekly rides?
No. As much as we love riding, we believe balance is a core value. Therefore, we plan ahead taking into account holidays, festivities and more. This way we all have the chance to enjoy some time with our loved ones, before the next 24-hour challenge.
Can everybody ride with RPM?
Yes, for sure! Grouprides are open to all. We do expect a base form of fitness, but moreso a great mentality. The type of ride is always indicated, as are the kilometers and elevations.
