About the event
Lead out the greats when you take on a cycling challenge like no other through the closed roads of London and the Surrey Hills in August 2014. Just hours before the world’s top cyclists race the Prudential RideLondon Classic, 20,000 cyclists will have the chance to cycle a modified version of the London 2012 Olympic Road Race.
Celebrating the legacy for cycling created by London 2012, Prudential RideLondon-Surrey100 will start in the new Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, then follow the closed roads through the capital and onto Surrey’s stunning country roads and hills. With leg-testing climbs and a route made famous by the world’s best cyclists, this promises to be truly spectacular event for all involved.
The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 is a perfect ride for club & recreational cyclists. Slower cyclists can enjoy a challenging ride while faster riders will relish the opportunity to pit themselves against the country’s top amateurs.
