Online registration for the Thames Bridges Bike Ride has now closed.
We are delighted to announce the date for the 2013 Thames Bridges has now been confirmed as Sunday 12 May.
The 2013 event will once again consist of three routes, the 55 mile extended, 34 mile standard and 6.5 mile family route. The extended and standard routes will begin in Southwark Park with the family route beginning at Ham Common (also pit stop 3) and all ending at Cigarette Island (near Hampton Court).
Routes
Extended
The extended route is the longest and most challenging of the three routes and takes on 55 miles of cycling fun! This route matches the standard route but includes extra mileage as you take in more of London's sites. Limited places available. Start times limited to 8.00-10.00am. Only open to confident and experienced cyclists over 16.
Standard
The standard route is our tried and tested classic Thames Bridges Bike Ride cycling route. This favourite takes on 16 bridges, covers 34 miles and starts in Southwark Park and finishes at Cigarette Island near Hampton Court.
Family
Our family friendly route starts at pit stop 3 at Ham Common and is a pleasant 6.5 mile route finishing in Cigarette Island (near Hampton Court). This route is open to cyclists of all ages although any cyclists under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Sponsorship
Unlike previous years, there is no minimum sponsorship target for the 2013 event, however the registration fee only covers the cost of running the event so we rely on the sponsorship raised by all our cyclists to help continue our vital work in stroke services, research and campaigns. For the 2013 event we are asking all cyclists to aim to raise at least £100 in sponsorship, but don't worry, we have plenty of fundraising ideas to help get you started!
Start Times
The first riders will leave the start area at 8.00am and will continue every 30 minutes until 11.30am.
Those cyclists registering for the extended route will be asked to select a start time between 8.00am and 10.00am.
Finish Area
New for 2013, Cigarette Island (near Hampton Court) will be the location of our finish area and this is a great place to relax with friends and family once you have completed your challenge! With food and drink available to buy and music and entertainment for you to enjoy you can really make a day of it!
Cycling Tops
Every cyclist will receive an event T-shirt as part of their registration but this year we will also be offering the option to purchase a cycling jersey too!
