Surrey County Council are celebrating the impressive turn out at the weekend’s RideLondon – Surrey event.

The cabinet member for community service, Helyn Clack said she’s delighted the wind and rain didn’t quash the determination of nearly 21,000 cyclists who turned out for the event.

She added that watching olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins and waves of amateurs tackle the difficult route was magnificent.

The bad weather yesterday meant the RideLondon – Surrey 100, had to be cut to 86 miles, missing some parts of the route.
