Howard Lake | 4 September 2014 | News
Classic Tours’ Nightrider™ fundraising cycle ride will include film and music for the first time. The night-time event, which takes in over 50 of London’s major landmarks, will also include along the way moments from Sherlock Holmes, The Beatles, Bridget Jones and more.
The event will take cyclists from Alexandra Palace in north London and Crystal Palace in the south on a circular itinerary through the city. On the way they pass Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, Piccadilly Circus, London Eye and The Mall. Full support, back up and regular break stops are provided throughout the night.
Next year the event takes place on 6/7 June. Around 4,500 cyclists are expected to raise more than £2 million in one night for hundreds of charities.
