Ride100 - 2021?
Discussion
Did the first one, never again, in fact that goes for pretty much any mass participation cycling events... RideLondon was very expensive once entry, transport and accommodation etc was inc, if you weren’t from the local area, it was £250 for four to five hours of riding. The route was ok, final 10kms were a novelty for a non-Londoner but it was all very underwhelming imho. The s
t that was left on the roads afterwards was embarrassing, thousands of chubby wobblers pretending they were in the pro peloton for the day, hundreds of gel wrappers all over the road gave the residents of Surrey all the ammo they needed.
Personally i think the sportive bubble is close to popping if it hasn’t already burst. Those who did them have either moved on to club rides, started racing or given up on cycling. Is anyone still going to pay £50+ for the privilege of riding on an open road with only the prospect of a medal, an energy bar and a sample of chamois cream at the end...
