Palace for Life Foundation CEO Mike Summers said: “We are delighted to have such a large and committed team of riders representing Palace for Life Foundation at RideLondon and wish them all the very best for their final preparations and the ride itself.
“The money they raise will make a huge difference to our work and will help us to support some of the most vulnerable young people in the communities around Selhurst Park. I would urge any Palace fans to look out for them on Sunday and cheer them along!”
A total of 25,000 people will cycle the 100-mile route starting at the Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park, before going through central London and the Surrey countryside, and finishing in front of Buckingham Palace. View the route map here.
