    The turning weather won't put this lot off from watching the elite men's Classic race this afternoon.*

    After all, it wouldn't be a British summer sporting event without a little rain, would it? 🌦

    100 miles in 100 words

    Cycling has been a life changing experience for Esme.

    Not only has it made her physically healthier, but the impact on her mental health has been just as positive.

    Her incredible journey has inspired her brother to take part alongside her in RideLondon 2017.

    Let's hear from the lady herself...

  7. Cycling tips you shouldn't be withoutpublished at 14:16 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    3. How to go from bike rider to commuter

    It makes good sense.

    You like riding your bike, work isn't that far and you could save some cash commuting on your bike rather than spending your money and time on public transport (plus you are never going to get past that level on that game you play every day on your phone during your commute).

    Whatever excuse has been holding you back, read this guide and find a way to get yourself in that cycle lane this week. It will help your training for next year's RideLondon now that you are hooked.

  8. Not quite finished...published at 14:13 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    What's the first thing you think of doing when you've just completed the RideLondon 100?

    Cycle another 10 miles of course! 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣

  9. Go on, get on your bikepublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    So, after watching all these ordinary folk like Anna - just like you - challenging themselves and feeling the benefits of a good ride, it's made you a bit nostalgic about your old bike. Admit it.

    If you find that old Rusty is now living up to it's name, or you want to get your kids out riding with you to get the whole family in on the action, don't head for the cycle shop until you have read this guide on buying a bike.

  10. Medal moment!published at 14:06 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    Finally made it to The Mall and it was great to see so many people out to support the riders, banging the advertising hoardings to make as much noise as possible!

    What an exhilarating experience and one I would definitely recommend for others to try.

    The sense of achievement is palpable as we all queue for our medals. It was the 46-miler for me this year, but I quite fancy the 100-mile next year!

  13. Riding for rehabpublished at 13:51 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    The Defence National Rehabilitation Centre was set up to support service men and women during rehab after suffering injuries.

    Taking part in RideLondon gives them the opportunity to give something back to the organisation in addition to aiding in their rehab, helping them get back to serving on the front line.

    A sportive wouldn't be complete without event marshals brandishing poles topped with stop signs.

    For these riders, a short breather while they wait patiently at a pedestrian crossing.

  19. RideLondon scrapbooks - Kevin's storypublished at 13:26 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    100 miles in 100 words

    And here's another husband-and-wife cycling tale...

    When Kevin and Karen were both diagnosed with different forms of leukaemia over a 10-year period, they both received treatment from the same hospital.

    Luckily for Kevin, the leukaemia has remained dormant so far and Karen made a full recovery after a stem cell donation.

    Since Kevin's diagnosis, he has discovered a passion for cycling and lost more than three stone.

    Here's Kevin's RideLondon story in 100 words.

    Now, back to some of those taking part today....

    Newlyweds expecting gifts of champagne, his-and-hers bath robes and a new set of cutlery were in for a surprise when this turned up at their reception.

    But, we agree with Emma, we really really hope David and his tandem made it to RideLondon!
