Rapha’s has also included its signature military-grade padding in the palms to absorb shock and a lining to wick away moisture and keep hands dry and warm during winter.

THE GRAND TOUR COOKBOOK BY HANNAH GRANT
Hannah Grant’s beautifully designed cookbook has become a modern culinary classic for cyclists. Full of natural, nourishing and wholesome foods, the recipes are based on the actual food prepared for professionals during events such as the Giro, Tour de France and the Vuelta, so every cyclist can fuel and maximize their performance. And with her next book, “Eat Race Win” also out in December you might even be able to pick up some more cooking ideas.
BROOKS D-SHAPED TOOL BAG
Brooks D-Shaped Bag was originally featured in the brand’s catalogues back as 1910. Still beloved by Brooks fans today, the classic accessory combines heritage style with innovative design. Created with a two-piece construction, the outer piece remains permanently attached to the saddle by a “Sam Browne” fixing, ensure it stays put even in extreme conditions, while the bag’s inner purse containing any valuables can easily be removed.

ATAYNE
The retro styling of Atayne’s National Park collection of cycling jerseys has been combined with images of the USA’s most famous and spectacular views to really inspire next year’s cycling adventures. Moisture-wicking, quick-drying and temperature-regulating fabrics will keep cyclists cool and comfortable, while gift buyers can rest easy knowing that they have done some good for the planet also thanks to Atayne’s use of 100 percent recycled fabrics.

SUTRO EMBROIDERED CREW SOCKS
Sutra’s ultra-soft Embroidered Crew Socks are made with naturally moisture-wicking Peruvian combed cotton for ultimate freshness and dryness while cycling. The classic colors and embossed Chrome Griffin logo will also ensure you’ll be happy to show them off tooling around town.
