The ballot may have been drawn, but that doesn’t mean you’ve missed your chance to ride in the incredibly popular RideLondon-Surrey 100 event. There are hundreds of charity places available.

Dubbed the London Marathon of the cycling world, this challenging 100 mile race will take you out through the streets of London and up iconic locations like Box Hill, where you can pedal in the wheel marks of the 2012 Olympic athletes. Swinging back through Surrey, you finish the race with a breath taking ride through central London.

We speak from experience when we say that there are few experiences like cycling down the Mall, Buckingham Palace in the background, with thousands of people cheering you on.

Distance: 100miles or around 170km
Date: Sunday 10th August
