With quiet back roads dotted with English villages and beautiful landscapes, Surrey is the perfect cycling and mountain biking destination.

Cycling in Surrey has taken off in Olympic proportions since the 2012 Road Race sped through the county and inspired a nation of would-be Wiggins!

The Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100 carries on this Olympic legacy, inspiring amateur cyclists to take up the challenge and race parts of this famous circuit and weekend Lycra clad enthusiasts to retrace the routes of their cycling heroes.
