Prudential Ride London 100 2016Sounds great right? Well it is, but I’d like to get serious for a few moments, if that’s OK? We’ve seen a lot of traumatic events take place in 2015 with so much sadness and heart ache affecting so many innocent lives all over the world. The media has been filled with images of parents and children fleeing their homes, seeking asylum and in far too many cases, not making it to safety. We’ve seen wars, terrorism, natural disasters…so many different events in one year where children’s lives have been severely impacted.

So, here’s how you can help whilst also cycling in one of the best UK rides.

Taking place on 31 July 2016, the Prudential Ride London 100 is a cycling race like no other. It brings an opportunity to ride from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London and cycle through 100 miles of closed roads, weaving through the capital and into Surrey’s beautiful countryside. This is a route made famous by some of the world’s best cyclists at the London 2012 Olympics and if you’re looking for leg-testing climbs and something awesome to train for in 2016 that can make a real difference to the lives of so many children, this is the ride for you!

Ordinary Cycling Girl has teamed up with the amazing children’s charity Unicef UK who work tirelessly to help protect children in danger all over the world. We’re living in uncertain times and so many innocent children’s lives are at risk. There really is no better time to show your support and help ensure that Unicef can continue the important work they do.
