There are two events for the top-level riders to get their
teeth into this weekend – the women’s Classique on Saturday, and the RideLondon-Surrey
Classic for the men on Sunday. There’s also a host of rides for amateur
cyclists of all levels.
Today sees the men’s pro teams competing on a 169km course
which starts in Bushy Park and includes five separate climbs of Box Hill,
giving climbers the chance of winning the King of the Mountains jersey for the
day before some of the world’s finest sprinters look for glory at the finish
line in St. James’ Park.
Not only are there crucial World Tour points to motivate the
riders, but also the largest prize pool for any one-day classic race in the
world.

Many of the biggest names in sprinting will
take their place on the starting line at Bushy Park, with Lotto-Soudal’s Caleb
Ewan looking to continue his rich vein of form after winning three stages on
his debut Tour de France.
Among his chief competitors on the
finishing line are Deceuninck-Quick-Step’s Elia Viviani, another 2019 Tour de
France stage winner, as well as Team Bahrain-Meridia’s Sonny Colbrelli and
Michael Matthews of Sunweb.
British riders include Katusha-Alpecin’s Alex
Dowsett and Christopher Lawless, who rides for Team Ineos alongside the likes
of Filippo Ganna and Christian Knees. There will also be a Great British
Cycling Team, led by World and European champion Ethan Hayter.
Last year’s winner, Bora-Hansgrohe’s Pascal
Ackermann, will not be defending his title.

From young children on stabilisers, through to adults going
for long countryside rides, cycling is for everyone. Sick of being stuck in
traffic? Cycling to work is also one of the easiest ways to fit exercise into
your daily routine. There are also a number of cycling clubs around the UK,
where coffee and cake stops are as important as the route you ride!
Just hop on a bike and you're good to go. British Cycling, Scottish Cycling, Welsh Cycling and Cycle NI have information about clubs and racing tracks, and the Breeze programme for women cyclists offers a range of safe and
sociable cycle routes for all abilities. If you don't have access to a bike
there are hundreds of bike rental facilities across the UK.
