Entries for the 2024 Ford RideLondon-Essex 100 closed last night, with organisers failing to sell out the full allocation for this year's event.

For many years the hottest ticket in town, demand has dropped since the route changed from the Surrey Hills to Essex.

Despite this, RideLondon remains the UK's biggest closed road sportive with thousands of riders signing up for the unique experience of riding through the capital on traffic-free streets.

RideLondon takes place on Sunday 26 May 2024.

A small number of VIP entries to the 100-mile route are still on sale. Priced £275 (compared with £99 for standard entry), VIP entry gives riders access to hospitality at the Start and Finish, the ability to select their start wave, including choosing to ride with friends, baggage drop and collection, and a VIP feed stop at 50 miles.

Places on the shorter 60 and 30-mile routes are also still available.

Launched in 2013, RideLondon is the UK's largest sportive and one of the world's biggest closed-road cycling events.

Past editions have seen entries allocated via a public ballot, while 2023 for the first time saw 10,000 places released for general sale with the remainder done by ballot.

For 2024, all entries were released on general sale.

Demand has until recent years always exceeded supply with RideLondon and while the route has changed - Surrey Hills have been exchanged for the relative flatlands of Essex - places are still in high demand.

Last year saw the initial allocation of 10,000 entries sell out within 48 hours, so early entry is still advisable for those looking to enjoy one of the country's blue riband road cycling events.
