INStRUCtIONS

Please read these instructions very carefully; in the following pages you will find all the

information you need to have a trouble-free Ride Day on Sunday 10 August.

All you need to do is follow these few simple guidelines.

You will have received your registration form, which shows your rider number, in early July. DO NOT LOSE THIS FORM. You will need it to collect your rider documents and kitbag when you register for the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre in East London.

YOU MUST BRING

PHOTOGRAPHIC IDENTIFICATION WITH YOU TO COLLECT YOUR RIDER DOCUMENTS. THE ACCEPTANCE SLIP SENT TO YOU IN JANUARY IS NOT VALID.

If the reverse of your registration form features a charity survey questionnaire, please complete this section before you arrive at Registration.

While preferring you to register in person, we recognise that in some cases this may be impossible, so you can nominate

someone to collect your rider documents for you. The person you nominate must have the following: a letter written and signed by you, authorising that person – by name – to collect your rider documents. You must also sign your registration form before handing it to them

AND PROVIDE THEM WITH A CLEAR PHOTOCOPY OF YOUR DRIVING LICENCE OR PASSPORT SHOWING YOUR NAME AND SIGNATURE.

The person collecting your rider documents should have suitable identification with them. Failure to comply with these instructions may lead to your rider documents not being issued. Please note: an individual can only pick up one set of rider documents in addition to their own.

YOUR RIDER DOCUMENTS

Your rider documents consist of a rider card, body number, handlebar number, frame sticker and kitbag sticker. Take care of your rider documents and fill in the medical information on the reverse side of the body number. Once you have separated your rider documents, do not deface or modify them in any way, and please note that duplicate numbers cannot be issued under any circumstances.

WHERE TO REGISTER

You must register and collect your rider documents before Ride Day. Registration is at the Prudential RideLondon Cycling Show, which will take place at ExCeL in East London. The address is:

HOW TO GET TO ExCeL

ExCeL is connected to the Jubilee line at Canning Town via a three-minute DLR journey (Docklands Light Railway) to Custom House station (for ExCeL’s West entrance) or Prince Regent station (for the East entrance.)

ExCeL is also connected directly to the Central, Northern, Circle, District and Waterloo & City Underground lines at Bank and the Circle and District lines at Tower Hill via the DLR.

ExCeL is in London Underground Zone 3. We strongly advise that you use an Oyster card or purchase a return ticket or travelcard as ticket-purchasing facilities are limited at ExCeL. All valid London Underground tickets are accepted on DLR. Please try to register on

Thursday if you live in or around London, it will be busier on Friday and Saturday with cyclists coming from further afield. After registering, take some time to look round the Prudential RideLondon Cycling Show, there'll be lots to do and see as well as plenty of opportunity to check

out the latest cycling products. If you travel to Registration at ExCeL by bicycle, there will be bicycle storage facilities at the Prudential RideLondon Cycling Show.

YOUR KITBAG

At Registration you will be given an envelope containing your rider documents, including an adhesive kitbag sticker. You will also be given a drawstring Ride Day kitbag. The sticker must be fixed to the front of the kitbag on the area indicated.

You will use this kitbag for your belongings on Ride Day. You just hand in the bag at the correct baggage lorry at the Start and, as if by magic, it will be waiting for you to collect at the Finish.

WHAT IF I AM ILL OR INJURED?

You must be fit and well to ride 100 miles. Severe exertion during or soon after any kind of fever is extremely dangerous. Do not take any chances with your health: if you find yourself in this situation you must withdraw.

You don’t have to be a professional cyclist or Olympic gold medallist to benefit from a sports massage and, as you ease off the training in the week preceding the sportive, a session on the table would be a great addition to your preparation. Not only will your muscles respond better after treatment but a little pampering will also relax you before Ride Day and help calm any nerves you may have. With sessions at just £15 for 15 minutes or £30 for half an hour, don’t waste this opportunity – come along and let one of our 20 therapists look after you.

BIKE STORE

We welcome visitors on their bikes and while bikes are not allowed in the show itself we offer a free secure storage facility. Drop your bike off as you enter the show and collect it as you leave. ››

a full programme of informative presentations throughout the day, offering invaluable cycling advice, interviews with professional and celebrity riders, and a variety of entertainment. There will also be hourly stunt riding shows performed by the country’s best athletes.

With more than 10,000 visitors each weekday and 25,000 on Saturday, you may want to consider registering in the week to avoid the crowds on Saturday. If you plan to visit on Saturday, before 11:00 is the quietest time.

HANDLEBAR NUMBER PLACEMENT

BEFORE LEAVING HOME

At the end of June you should have received an email containing your Start Area Colour, Wave, Wave Loading Times and your actual Start Time. You will need to consider this information when planning your journey to the Start in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on the morning of the sportive. If you did not receive this email and are unsure of any of the above details, please call our Helpdesk on 020 7902 0212. Use this start info to calculate the time you need to leave your accommodation and, if you’re driving, the time you need to be parking up or being dropped off. The Start of the event covers a vast area and it will take time to get around, please aim to arrive at least 60 minutes before you’re due to start the sportive.

Before you leave for the start, make sure you have the following items with you:

Rider card. Detach this from

your rider numbers and bring it along as a handy guide to your start time

Handlebar number, frame sticker and body number (mandatory)

attached to your bike and top

Full water bottles

Food (gels, energy bars, etc) Spare inner tubes/pump/tyre levers/repair kit/tools Helmet (mandatory)

Money – in case you want to stop

for refreshments at a village shop or cake stall along the route

HOW TO ATTACH YOUR BODY NUMBER, HANDLEBAR

NUMBER & FRAME STICKER TO YOU AND YOUR BIKE

Every single rider will be accurately timed by means of an ID tag on the back of your handlebar number, which must be attached to your handlebars. When you cross the official Start Line of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100, you will ride over a mat that will register your time as you pass over it. There is another mat at the Finish Line on The Mall. Official times will be based on the elapsed time taken by each rider between the Start Line and the Finish Line. It is your responsibility to attach your body number to the back of your jersey/jacket, your frame sticker to your frame, and your handlebar number to your handlebars in order to get an official finishing time.

Your body number, frame sticker and handlebar number will be issued to you at Registration.

ATTACHING THE

HANDLEBAR NUMBER

The ID tag for timing is attached to the back of the handlebar number. Please separate the handlebar number from the body number along the perforations.

Use the two cable ties (which will be enclosed with your body and handlebar numbers) to attach the handlebar number to the centre of the handlebar.

Make sure that the whole number is visible, otherwise we can’t guarantee to link the official photographs with you.

The ID tag is disposable and does

NOT need to be returned once

you cross the Finish Line.

ATTENTION!

Make sure you

attach the handlebar number in the correct position!

START

In order to get 24,000 cyclists away, the morning of Ride Day will be an early start. To ensure that your journey to the Start in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is as straightforward as possible on the morning of Ride Day, you need to consider the following:

1

PLAN CAREFULLY

When we emailed you at the end of June with your Start details, we suggested a variety of transport options for getting you and your bike to the Start in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Two of these options were driving to an official drop-off point or pre-booking a car park. If you chose one of these options, make sure you know the route you are required to take to avoid road closures. Once at the car park or drop-off locations you will be able to follow a signposted route to the start. If you are not planning to drive or be driven to a car park or drop-off point, you are likely to cycle to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park so please plan your route carefully.

2

ARRIVAL POINTS

You will have been allocated a place in either the Green, Yellow, Blue, Orange or Black Starts. The map opposite shows the location of the entry points to each of these areas. The map

also shows four Arrival Points (pink arrows A to D). Please make your way to the Arrival Point nearest to your Start Area entry point, where signposts will direct you to your allocated Start Area.

3

ROAD CLOSURES

There will be extensive road closures from early morning to make sure the route is secure and ready for the event. These will include – but are not limited to – the A12, the Blackwall Tunnel (southbound only), the Limehouse Link Tunnel, Tower Bridge, Westminster Bridge and Southwark Bridge. As a participant you will NOT be allowed to use these or any of the roads closed for the event in order to get to the Start, either in a vehicle or on your bicycle, with the exception of the Blackwall Tunnel northbound. Check www.tfl.gov.uk/ prudentialridelondon for full

details of the road and river-crossing closures on Ride Day.

4

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

There will be limited public transport on Sunday 10 August to assist you in getting to the Start in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. This year, we are running a trial overground rail service from Richmond to Stratford on the London Overground. There will be two specially chartered trains,

which will leave from Richmond and call at Acton Central, Willesden Junction, Hampstead Heath and Highbury & Islington before arriving at Stratford. You were sent details on these trains in the transport options email at the end of June. If you did not receive this email, call our Helpdesk on 020 7902 0212. DLR will be operating its standard Sunday service on Sunday 10 August and stations will manage a safe capacity of bicycles on trains. Visit www.tfl. gov.uk to plan your journey.

Emirates Air Line will be offering a free service over the Thames from 04:30 to transport you and your bicycle between the O2 Arena and ExCeL. Please ensure you show your rider number to the stewards on arrival.

Normal restrictions apply to the carriage of bicycles on public transport in London. Check www. tfl.gov.uk/cycling for details.

You are advised to check what restrictions your train operating companies may have in place at

www.nationalrail.co.uk

5

DON’T BE LATE

Otherwise your day will be over before it’s even started! All waves start between 06:00-08:30 and there will be no departures after the last wave. ››

CAR PARKING

If you have booked one of the 5,500 car parking spaces across 17 sites in London, which have been secured for Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100, don’t forget to bring the booking confirmation email with you and use the info contained in it to plan your journey.

Participants will be able to follow a signposted route from each car park to the Start in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

DROP-OFF

There are five drop-off locations available for participants (all around five miles from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park). The drop-off locations are available between 04:00-07:00 on the morning of Ride Day. You were sent details of these drop-off locations in the transport options email at the end of June.

Like the car-parking sites, each drop-off location will have a signposted route to the start. You will need to make your own

arrangements if you need to be picked up after the event and should take the large number of road closures into account. Transport for London is asking drivers to avoid central and southwest London on Ride Day unless the journey is essential.

COURIER YOUR BICYCLE

You were also sent details on a bicycle courier service in the transport options email in June. This service allows you to transport your bike to/from London. This is especially useful for participants who live some distance from the capital. If you did not receive the email outlining the three bicycle courier service options, please call our Helpdesk on 020 7902 0212. If you do courier your bicycle to ExCeL, remember a number of Tube lines do not carry non-folding bicycles. Check www. tfl.gov.uk/cycling for details of

restrictions for bicycle carriage on London’s public transport network, and plan on cycling

away from ExCeL once you have collected your bike.

FROM THE O2 ARENA/ BLACKWALL LANE

A large number of car parking spaces have been made available by the O2 Arena in Greenwich. As the southbound bore of the Blackwall Tunnel will be closed to traffic on the morning of the event, participants south of the river will be able to cycle northbound through the southbound bore between 04:00 and 07:00 on the morning of Ride Day. The only entry point to the tunnel will be signposted from Millennium Way near the O2 Arena. Limited capacity on the Emirates Air Line will also be available from 04:30 on the morning of Ride Day. Please note that once the

Blackwall Tunnel closes to cyclists at 07:00, you will not be able to use it, either to travel to the start or for your return journey.

Make sure you get to Queen Elizabeth Olympic park at least 60 minutes before your start time

CHANGES TO THE START AREA

Please note that the Start Area has changed from last year. If you participated in the event in 2013 do not expect to follow the same procedures this year.

KITBAGS & BAGGAGE LORRIES

The baggage lorries are labelled with a Start Area colour and a number range. Please hand in your kitbag at the baggage lorry that displays the colour and number range corresponding to your rider number.

Staff on the baggage lorries will only accept the official Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 kitbag, which was handed to you at Registration. Kitbags are sorted into number order to allow for easy retrieval at the Finish. Ensure you have stuck your self-adhesive number label to the kitbag where indicated, and that you have drawn and tied the drawstring cord to prevent any items from falling out.

Once you have deposited your kitbag on the baggage lorry, you will not be able to retrieve it until you arrive at the Finish Area on The Mall. Therefore, please ensure that you have all you require for the sportive BEFORE leaving your kitbag on the baggage lorry. You should then move towards your Wave Loading Zone.

WAVE LOADING ZONES

A PA system and signage will help you to find your way around the Start Area and to the appropriate Wave Loading Zone when it’s time for your allocated wave. Please ensure your body number and handlebar number are displayed clearly before entering your Wave Loading Zone.

REFRESHMENTS

Hot and cold drinks and a selection of food will be available to purchase at the Start. ››

and to find out more.

Please note that you are not permitted to use the following items during the sportive:

Any artificial or mechanical aid (including, without limitation, handcranked devices).

Any unconventional handlebars, including triathlon bars, aero bars, clip-ons, prayer bars, Spinaci bars and cow bars or bars without bar-end plugs fitted. Mobile phones while cycling – you must pull to the roadside and stop if you wish to make or receive a phone call. Any other item that could potentially inhibit the flow or safety of other participants or which we, in our reasonable opinion, deem may cause danger or risk of danger to you or other participants. Pets or animals are not permitted in the event.

SLOW & STOP

You will have the privilege of riding on closed roads throughout the entire route of the sportive, but we ask that you respect and follow some important 'rules of the road' during the event:

•

Emergency vehicles take priority in order to attend incidents across the entire event footprint.

•

Expect emergency vehicles on the route at any point, either

crossing or driving along the route in both directions.

•

Remain alert at all times and pull over to the side of the road to allow emergency vehicles to pass safely. The event passes through many busy towns and villages. Seen from the side of the road this means, in some cases, a continual stream of cyclists for seven hours. It is vital to allow pedestrian movements and critical vehicle crossing so the communities through which we pass can cross the route.

•

Expect to slow and stop in these busy areas.

•

Obey the ground stewards and motorcycle marshals so that pedestrians and emergency vehicles can cross the route safely.

•

Slowing down and creating gaps in the flow of cyclists allows pedestrians to cross the route safely.

Please follow these simple steps to help ensure the safety of all those participating, watching and going about their everyday business. Remain alert, remain in control of your bicycle and enjoy the ride.

THE ROUTE

The route is 100 miles in length from the official Start Line in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, to the Finish Line on The Mall. At Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park there are two start chutes. These follow different parallel routes for the first six miles and then converge on exiting the Limehouse Link Tunnel. Until exiting the Limehouse Link Tunnel, please do not attempt to cross carriageways as this may cause another cyclist to swerve or, in the worst case, crash. ››

(14)

Riding in and around several other cyclists requires care and attention. To make sure you don’t cause a crash, consider the following when riding:

Don’t do anything that the person riding behind you would not expect – for example stopping suddenly, braking sharply unless absolutely necessary, or swerving to avoid something at short notice. Constantly be aware of what is coming up ahead of you and adjust your position in the road in advance. Hold your position in the road when cornering and don’t cut from one side to the other unexpectedly. Be aware of other cyclists around you and how close they may be to you. Their safety is often in your hands and they will trust you to ride sensibly and safely. See www.Prudential RideLondon.co.uk/rules for

SpORTIvE TIMINgS

a traffic island, a fast descent, a narrow section, sharp corner, maybe there has just been a crash or perhaps there is a speed bump?

To help make you aware of any potential obstacles on the route, we will provide warning signage where appropriate. On fast descents or sharp corners a marshal will be present with a yellow flag and whistle to alert you to the hazard.

VEHICLES ON THE ROUTE

Although the route will be closed to regular traffic, there is still a chance you may encounter vehicles on the route during your ride. These vehicles are likely to either be emergency-services vehicles, safety motorbikes, mechanics or other official event vehicles. Emergency vehicles will always have priority over the event and you should always be alert. If you

hear a marshal blowing a whistle, be prepared to stop and follow the instructions of the marshal carefully. If this happens, there may be an incident ahead or an emergency-services vehicle that needs to cross or use the route.

DISTANCE MARKERS

Every 10 miles there will be a distance marker indicating the distance you have travelled at that point. This will be complemented by 95-mile and 99-mile markers to help you to get through the final few miles.

TOILETS

In addition to the toilets at the start, there are facilities at each Hub, Drinks Station and at regular intervals along the route for your use.

After the start, the first toilets will be on The Highway between the Limehouse Link Tunnel and the Tower of London, just seven miles along the route. Toilets are provided, so please use them! Remember – urinating in public or on private property is illegal.

HUBS & DRINKS STATIONS

The three Hubs will be key welfare points for participants and will offer food, drinks, toilets, medical facilities and basic mechanical assistance. For any mechanical services, labour will be free, however, you

The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 Business Relay is a separate event within the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100. The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 Business Relay offers an opportunity for you and three colleagues to enter the UK’s largest cycling challenge. Each team rides most of the iconic course made famous by the world’s greatest cyclists in the London 2012 Olympic Games.

This team event can be completed in one of the following two ways:

BUSINESS RELAY

The event can be ridden as a traditional relay with one rider handing over to the next at dedicated locations along the route with each rider completing approximately 25 miles. The first leg begins at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and heads west through the capital towards the scenic Surrey countryside, passing many historic London landmarks along the way. The second and third members of the team take on the challenging Surrey Hills sections, while the fourth can look forward to a hero’s welcome at the finish on The Mall. Each rider will ride ONE leg of the 100-mile course.

BUSINESS PELOTON

The event may also be ridden as a team where riders form the team at set points along the route in order to finish as a full team of four on The Mall. Each rider completes a different distance of the challenge and all can enjoy the satisfaction of cycling to finish on The Mall.

Those riding must be an employee of the company taking part. To enter, teams should be either: all male, all female or a mixed team of two male and two female riders. You cannot have an odd number of male/female riders in a mixed team.

The changeover/pick-up Hub points for both options are:

Hub 1 – Hampton Court Green (Mile 26) Hub 2 – Newlands Corner (Mile 47) Hub 3 – Leatherhead Car Park (Mile 75)

Riders are responsible for their own logistics on Ride Day, we will provide a suggested vehicle route to and from each Hub location to assist with planning.

Riders taking part in the Business Relay will be sent more specific information separately by email. However, there are some key things that you need to consider when planning your day. You will need to consider the times that you think your team mate will arrive at your changeover location and ensure you are ready and waiting at the location with plenty of time to spare. If you’re late you’ll be letting down your whole team!

will be required to pay for any parts you require.

You must remember to bring your drinks bottles with you on your bicycle as no cups will be provided at these locations. This will help us to reduce litter. The three Hubs and eight Drinks Stations (with toilet facilities) are on the route in the following locations:

Chiswick Bridge

(mile 17 – Drinks Station)

Hampton Court Green

(mile 26 – Hub)

Pyrford Village

Newlands Corner

(mile 47 – Hub)

supply gels for a last-minute boost). High5 EnergySource will be available at Hubs and Drinks Stations from mile 57. High5 Zero isotonic drink will be available at all of the Hubs. High5 Gels will be available from Newlands Corner and at subsequent Hubs and Drinks Stations.

Any litter you collect throughout the ride should be kept in your pockets and disposed of at Hubs or Drinks Stations along the route. Under no circumstances must you discard your litter at the side of the road.

If you choose to support a local business or pub along the route by stopping for refreshments this is very much encouraged – and recommended! – but keep the cut-off times in mind so you don’t get pulled out of the event.

SLOWER CYCLISTS AT THE BACK OF THE FIELD

At two points along the route, cyclists travelling slower than the eight-and-a-half-hour time limit (18.9kph/11.75mph average) will be directed along diversions, which will shorten the distance; this is because, based on the time you reach a certain point, you would not make it back to The Mall in central London along the full route before the last finish time of 17:00, without being withdrawn from the event at a cut-off point.

These two diversions are as follows:

DIVERSION 1

Abinger Hammer to Wotton (avoids the climb of Leith Hill) Diversion length 1.5 miles Route A25 Guildford Road Diversion becomes optional from 11:00

Diversion mandatory at 12:40 Finish distance reduced to 92 miles

DIVERSION 2

Westhumble to Givons Grove Roundabout (along the cycle path, avoiding the climb of Box Hill)

Diversion length 2.5 miles Route A24 Dorking Road Diversion becomes optional from 12:00

Diversion mandatory at 14:00 Finish distance reduced to 94 miles

DIVERSIONS 1 & 2

If you take both diversions 1 and 2, the finish distance will be reduced to 86 miles.

Although we would like as many participants as possible to be able to get back to The Mall under their own steam, to ensure that participants are not caught by the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic pro race, five cut-off points will be in operation at the following locations and following times:

Mile 26 Hampton Court Palace –

10:35

Mile 47 Newlands Corner – 12:30 Mile 75 Leatherhead – 15:00 Mile 81 Sandown Park – 15:30 Mile 91 Wimbledon Common –

16:20

If you do not reach the cut-off point(s) before the above times, you will be withdrawn from

the event. Each cut-off point will have vehicles waiting to transport any participants who withdraw from the event back to The Mall with their bicycle. You will need to ensure that you report your rider number and name to a steward or marshal so that you are accounted for. Event riders on the route after the above timings will not be allowed to proceed and will be disqualified from the event.

DROPPING OUT

A sweep system will be in place to collect any riders who cannot continue due to either fatigue, mechanical failure, or who fall behind the eight-and-a-half-hour time limit. Vehicles will be travelling the route to collect participants where required and will operate more regularly at the tail end of the event. To ensure that the route is clear prior to the arrival of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic, a final vehicle will be present at the tail end of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100.

IMPORTANT

If you withdraw from the event it is vital that you give your name and rider number to a steward or marshal so that you can be accounted for. ››

tHe FINISH aRea

_{The Royal Parks has allowed us}

to use The Mall, Constitution Hill and Green Park as the Finish Area for the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100. The map on page 19 shows the layout of facilities. We are grateful to the Royal Parks for its assistance and would ask that you show your appreciation by treating the area with the respect it deserves and not littering the Park and surrounding areas. Do not lean bicycles against fences or trees – use the Bike Park instead.

THE FINISH LINE

The Finish Line is located on The Mall. As you cross the Finish Line, please keep moving and follow instructions from marshals. If you become distressed, our medical staff will be on hand to care for you.

THE POST-FINISH AREA SECURE FINISH

The Finish Area is a secure area with no public access. Once across the Finish Line you will be guided through the ‘finish system’. You will be asked to dismount, then you will be given a medal and a goody bag, which contains water and food items.

BAGGAGE

You should aim to retrieve your own belongings from the baggage lorries as quickly as possible – these will be positioned on Constitution Hill. Follow the signs and collect your baggage from the lorry with the relevant colour and rider-number range displayed on it. Once you have collected your kitbag please move away from the baggage area to enable other cyclists space to collect their kitbags.

BIKE PARK

We are offering a secure Bike Park for those of you who wish to relax in the festival area in Green Park. The Bike Park will be clearly signposted and marshals will be on hand to direct you

while securely tagging your bike. Near the Bike Park we will also be providing toilets and changing facilities (still within the secure area). Please refer to the Finish Area map on page 19.

Please leave the secure Finish Area via the designated exit points.

BICYCLE SECURITY

With thousands of bikes in the Finish Area during the Prudential RideLondon weekend, there is an increased risk of theft. Please be vigilant and do make use of our secure Bike Park instead of locking your bike in a public area.

MEET AND GREET AREA

The Meet and Greet Area can be very busy, so please take note of the following advice. There will be meeting points in the Broad Walk area of Green Park. The trees in this area of the park will be marked with letters of the alphabet so you can arrange to meet at your family initial or at another pre-arranged letter. Please ask your friends and relatives to meet you at one of these meeting points and ask them NOT to congregate around the exits from the secure area. This causes massive congestion for exiting cyclists as well as other health and safety issues for the large numbers of people in this area. Our security personnel are under instructions not to allow people to congregate here and to move them along. Please make your arrangements to meet friends and relatives carefully – a little forward planning will prove extremely worthwhile.

We strongly suggest that you have a contact telephone number to relay messages to a third party who will be at home and will be able to take calls and pass messages between you, should your plans go awry. Please ask any friends or relatives to bring this magazine with them – there is a map of the Finish Area on page 19.

In the unlikely event of the Finish Area becoming unavailable as a result of a serious incident on Ride Day, or the sportive being stopped for some other reason, you are advised to agree an alternative meeting place (this should not be within two miles of the Finish Area) with friends and relatives. This will ensure you have a predetermined place to meet that will be more accessible. Heavy mobile phone traffic on all networks means you may find it difficult to receive or make a call in and around the Finish Area. Therefore, do not rely on mobile phones as your only means of communication.

Remember that you are likely to feel tired and weary, as well as proud of your achievement, and meeting with your friends and relatives after the sportive will be difficult among thousands of other cyclists and their supporters if you haven’t made simple arrangements.

After crossing the Finish Line it will take a minimum of 15 minutes and closer to 30 to 40 minutes to reach the Meet and Greet Area. Remember to build these factors into your arrangements for meeting friends and relatives. There will also be a medical station, Information Point, and toilets in Green Park.

FESTIVAL AREA

Why not relax in the Green Park festival area after your ride? Enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Park, take the opportunity to watch the Prudential

RideLondon-Surrey Classic on the big screen and enjoy refuelling at the festival food court.

OTHER POINTS TO REMEMBER

Make sure you tell your friends and relatives your rider number. It is the easiest way for our Information Point to identify you on our database. ››

PRL / FINAL INSTRUCTIONS

There will be a PA system in operation throughout the day at the Finish; this is only for official commentary and emergency announcements, NOT for cyclists seeking lost friends or family. Arranging to meet your friends and relatives ‘at the finish’ is simply not adequate and will only lead to distress and frustration on both sides. Following the instructions above will help you to avoid this situation.

After the event you are likely to be extremely tired. Make sure you eat, drink and are well rested and prepared to ride on the public highway before you leave the Finish Area.

expected to find your own way, so if you are unfamiliar with London come prepared with a map or GPS and plan your route at www. tfl.gov.uk/cycling. Remember,

you will be cycling on open roads again, so you will be sharing the road with other traffic.

BICYCLE COURIER SERVICE

If you have pre-booked your bicycle to be couriered home by TNT, please make your way to the Bicycle Courier Service area on Birdcage Walk with your confirmation email.

PICK UP

If you are planning to be picked up by car following the event, please plan your meeting point in advance with your friend/relative. When planning your meeting point you will need to consider the following key information to avoid the event road closures and any congestion:

Your agreed pick-up location should not be within a two-mile radius of The Mall, north of the river. This means that you will need to choose a location that is south of the river, north of Regents Park, east of Tower Bridge, or west of Kensington Gardens. If you are being dropped off at an official drop-off location, please note that the same locations will not be available for use as pick-up locations. You are advised to use an

existing off-street car-park facility, but make sure you agree this in advance. Many London roads require local parking permits and normal Sunday parking restrictions will apply. For road closure information, please visit www.tfl.gov.uk/ prudentialridelondon

RETURNING TO EAST LONDON RIVER BOAT SERVICE

Three chartered Thames Clippers, departing at regular intervals between 12:00 and 19:00, will be running from Blackfriars Pier towards east London. They will be strictly for participants only and must be booked in advance.

The chartered boats will be stopping at Canary Wharf, North Greenwich and Trinity Buoy Wharf Piers and will carry up to 100 participants and their bicycles at a time with a maximum journey time of 40 minutes.

The River Boat Service must be booked in advance through the transport options link emailed to you in June. Please call our Helpdesk on 020 7902 0212 if you did not receive this email.

The pre-booked service is guaranteed at a cost of £10. By booking a specific time, you are guaranteed a place on that service, however, if you are delayed you will be able to wait for the next available service, subject to capacity.

QEOP BICYCLE TRANSPORT SERVICE

The QEOP Bicycle Transport Service allows you to have your bicycle transported from Horse Guards Avenue after you've completed the sportive to a secure location at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park between 11:00 and 19:00, while you make your own way on public transport (such as the Jubilee line).

This must be pre-booked (at a cost of £5) through the transport options link emailed to you in June. You will need to choose a time slot and show your rider number for drop-off and collection.
