not a geared road bike then, so can't go on geared road bike rides.
I can't go riding mountain bike trails with my track bike but I'm not moaning about it.
DenGlanzig-
I raise you Sylwia tackling* the Pennine Bridleway on her Steamroller...
I agree with @judenonesuch, there are plenty of fixed-gear audaxers who can hold their own on a road ride, but I suppose it's easier for Rapha not having to check people's credentials for group riding, pace and assume all roadies know what they're doing...

"Rapha rides are roadbike only"
well.. my bike is a road bike, (as opposed to a track bike, a mountain bike, etc.) it's just only got one gear.. It just seems a bit odd having more requirements on people's equipment than road-worthyness, can't really see a justification for it but then I'm not the kind of guy who'd go on a Rapha ride to start with so horses for courses I suppose.
