Prudential RideLondon: an annual two-day festival of cycling: A true legacy of the 2012 Games Developed by the Mayor of London and his agencies, Prudential RideLondon is a world-class festival of cycling taking place over the weekend of Saturday 30 July (closed roads in London only) and Sunday 31 July 2016 (London to Surrey).
There is no other closed-road event like it that combines the fun and accessible element of a free family ride in central London with the excitement of watching the world’s best professional cyclists race in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic and Prudential RideLondon Grand Prix.
Cheer on Mark Cavendish and Chris Froome as Surrey’s big day of cycling returns with two separate events on Sunday 31 July:
- the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100, which will see 25,000 amateur cyclists take on a challenge like no other, with the added incentive of raising money for good causes.
- and the Prudential RideLondon – Surrey Classic, featuring some of the world’s top professional cyclists.
Following the 2012 Olympic Coad Race route through Byfleet, West Byfleet and Pyrford, the 100 mile challenge will start at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, travel through the closed roads of London and Surrey, before finishing on The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace. To capture it all, the best action is broadcast live on TV in the UK and internationally, to be seen by an audience of millions. Why not watch it on a Big Screen at West Byfleet Recreation Ground, Parvis Road, West Byfleet or join in the festivities at Pyrford Cricket Club on Sunday. For more information see Celebrate Pyrford Event.
After the inaugural event in 2013, the vision for Prudential RideLondon – to be one of the world’s leading cycling events and a lasting legacy of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games – has become reality.
