50,000 register for Ride London cycle challenge

Box Hill, London 2012 Olympic men's road race

Over 50,000 people have now registered for this August's inaugural RideLondon 100-mile cyclo-sportive, part of the Ride London cycling festival centred in the Olympic Park.

Registration for the event closes on Friday, January 4. The closed-road route follows much of the 2012 Olympic Games road race circuit starting in the London 2012 park, now known as the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It will be the first major legacy event to use the park, post-Games. The route delves deep into Surrey, including Box Hill.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
