The Action 100 Bristol/Bath to London bike ride attracts over 600 riders each year to take on this tough challenge of over 100-miles. Following the old coaching route along the A4 the undulating terrain offers up some testing climbs before halfway that will have you out of the saddle. This is the long one and you’ll need to have kept something in reserve to keep those pedals spinning to the finish at Kempton Racecourse.
Whether you are an experienced rider aiming to get a fast time or a rider aiming to make a day of it and take in the sights, this ride is for you.
Expect excellent feed stations manned by friendly volunteers and a buffet style lunch mid-way through the ride that you will find hard to tear yourself away from! Riders will be supported by first class medical support, mechanical services and a sweep vehicle.
Many riders have experienced a RIDE 100 event, and thoroughly enjoyed the social atmosphere and return to enjoy the unique experience that we offer. Make 2012 the year that you take part in a RIDE 100 sportive! You won’t be disappointed.
