    And while we're on the theme of hills.......

    We're almost there but there's one last hurdle - Wimbledon Hill!

    It's a 10% climb and with tired legs it can feel almost vertical.

    It's too much for some as they have to get off their bikes and walk up but the majority do manage it, in no small part to the amazing support on the hill telling you, you can do it!

    These guys must be in complete bliss right now. 100 miles on bike and they're rewarded with a full upper body massage. 

    I'm very jealous.

    And as I turn around I spot another reason to be jealous...

    But should chips be covered in mayo or ketchup? Now there's a big question.

    And here's more from our reporter on the ground at yesterday's FreeCycle....

    Little Astrid, who is 17 months old, was with her mum and dad Yvonne and Shaun Yue on the FreeCycle route.

    "It's her first bike ride and I borrowed the seat from the Hackney cycle library which is a great resource" said mum Yvonne.

    "Astrid has enjoyed it, although she did have a snooze part way round!"

  8. Well done Rob!published at 12:37 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    You might have spotted the handcycling in that round-up and here's 61-year-old Rob Groves at St Paul's Cathedral after finishing his 2,500-mile trip round the coast of England and Wales on Friday:

    Rob stopped off and gave talks at schools on the way and was delighted with the "huge response", including meeting one disabled boy whose school are now going to fundraise to get him a suitable bike.

    "It's been an amazing experience," he said.

    "I wanted to show what can be achieved by a disabled person - this bike has given me that freedom.

    "I want to turn round and go back."

  9. A festival of cyclingpublished at 12:32 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    But, as we've mentioned, RideLondon is not just about today - there have been two days of events already.

    Here's Tim Warwood to explain....

  10. Cycling to beat blood cancerpublished at 12:28 British Summer Time 30 July 2017

    Here's another story about a group taking part today.....

    Team Angus are taking to the streets of London today to remember a young boy who died from leukemia in 2011.

    Comprised of Angus' family and friends, they're raising money for Bloodwise - a blood cancer charity.

    After learning a lot from watching their son going through treatment, the Rowlands wanted to do something to stop other parents experiencing what they had gone through with their son.

    And so the Angus Rowland Forget Me Not Fund was born.

    A big hello to this young fan enjoying the cycling (and by looks of it, the lovely weather) down in Dorking.

    Nice bit of cycling-inspired ink on show at the finish line. 

    When I ask about its meaning, Jenny tells me it's a reminder of a race where she crashed!

    Maybe a new 'I completed RideLondon' tattoo should be next on the list Jenny...

    This gang of lads from Worcestershire are hoping to raise £5,000 for the Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer charity.

    They were in the final wave of the 100-mile riders and have cycled it a number of times. "We're taking it easy but looking at completing it in six hours... hopefully before the elite racers finish," they said.
