Wow, the RideLondon 2024 event was such great fun! This was my first time taking part and I cannot stress how good it was.
Being a closed road event was the main selling point for me as it's a bit of a journey down from Leeds just for it but I'm totally signing up for the 2025 edition.
Did you take part in the event and have any tips to share for future participants? Let me know down below!
Shout outs go to the legend DJ Spoony who I met several times throughout the day and also a guy called Stacey who put a massive turn in when heading back into London - safe riding guys!

Me too and I can’t wait for next year already! I might try sign up for etape Loch Ness as that is also closed roads. So much nicer with no cars around isn’t it

Thanks! Was my first too, think we managed to start around 7:15 in the end. Kinda missed the start point as we just rolled through it, was expecting a bit of a group/wave standing start but hey ho. Can’t wait for the next one!

@essex9 29 күн бұрын

Looks fun, might have to give it a go, though not much room there for the quicker riders to pass

@theyorkshirewheeler 28 күн бұрын

Yeah I know what you mean. People are advised to keep left but most actually don’t. If I decide to go for a better time next year starting as early as possible is crucial

@grahamo22 21 күн бұрын

Sadly, one of the bad things about the ride is the start and the post-finish areas. Theres little at the start, nowehre to get a drink which you get on just about every sportive. The end at Tooley Street just dumps you onto the Thames bridge junction, with no family meet up area.

I missed the final water stop somehow but the final welfare sticker location just had toilets so ended up riding the remaining 20th miles with no fluids. Was gasping for water by the end of it!
