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!
