Since its inception in 2014, Rapha's annual ride from Manchester to London – a 220-mile journey through rolling countryside of England – has become a September staple in many cyclists’ calendars. Lifelong friendships have been forged and we’ve raised more than a million pounds for Ambitious about Autism, a charity dedicated to improving opportunities for children and young people with autism.

Back for its sixth edition in 2019, M2L becomes L2M. Up to 300 riders will set off from a new start location, London’s Allianz Arena, at midnight on Saturday, 31st August. Travelling towards the light of a new day, riders will navigate a redesigned route, including new off-road sections, and reach the new finish location at Adlington Hall by early evening.
