RideLondon, which has featured a Women’s UCI WorldTour race, mass participation rides over 100 miles, 60 miles and 30 miles and FreeCycle, will not take place in 2025 as the organisers work on a new concept for the world’s greatest festival of cycling. Full refunds will be given to everyone who has entered the 2025 RideLondon-Essex 100 mile event (entries for the 60 and 30-mile events have not opened).
