Staged for the first time in August 2013, Prudential RideLondon is the largest festival of cycling in the world with more than 95,000 participants expected to ride more than 3m miles in five events during the weekend of August 1-2.

It combines the fun of a free family ride in central London with the excitement of watching the world’s best professional cyclists and raises millions of pounds for good causes.

The festival also includes the Prudential RideLondon 100 ride on Sunday August 2, which will see more than 25,000 amateur cyclists take on a cycling challenge like no other through London and Surrey on a similar route to that of the London 2012 Olympic cycling road races.
