RideLondon has now enjoyed several annual editions and has grown into a record-breaking festival of cycling enjoyed by more than 460,000 participants, from beginners to the world’s best professionals.
The festival takes place over one day and each year inspires people from all backgrounds to take up cycling as part of their daily lives, including families and Londoners.
The spring date helps people engage with cycling early in the year, so they can maintain the momentum to cycle all year round.
Cyclists of all abilities can take in glorious landmarks of the capital on closed roads from the comfort of their saddles.
Seize this rare chance to enjoy traffic-free riding in the capital and out onto quiet countryside lanes.
Ride the short, medium or long sportive, spectate, or join the fun family FreeCycle.
This event is part of RideLondon.

Look out for the four free Festival Zones on the route at Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Waterloo Place, Guildhall Yard and St Paul’s Churchyard and Paternoster Square. They’re the perfect places to stop to rest your legs and have some refreshments while enjoying the fun, free, family-friendly activities on offer to a soundtrack of live music and DJs.
RideLondon is organised by London Marathon Events (LME) Limited. All of the surplus generated by LME from RideLondon, the TCS London Marathon and other events organised by LME, is passed to the parent company, The London Marathon Charitable Trust, a registered charity.
The London Marathon Charitable Trust’s mission is to Inspire Activity by providing funding to initiatives that enable people to become and remain physically active regardless of age, gender and background, creating healthier and happier communities.
Since its founding in 1981, The Trust has given in excess of £95 million to more than 1,500 projects that Inspire Activity in London and across the UK.
RideLondon was held in London and Surrey between 2013 and 2019, with more than £4.3 million awarded to projects in Surrey that Inspire Activity.
As RideLondon is now partnering with Essex County Council, communities in Essex will soon be able to benefit from The London Marathon Charitable Trust funding.

Access to the Start will be via Parliament Square.
Like the 100-mile ride, the RideLondon-Essex 60 started in central London on Victoria Embankment before coursing through the historic Epping Forest to reach Essex.

There’ll be mile markers at approximately every five miles along the route and toilets will be near them.
