We’re very excited that the Prudential RideLondon event is coming back to Richmond for a second year in a row. This two day cycling event is still in its infancy, but it’s already a hugely popular event broadcast here on the BBC and internationally. It’s a family friendly event where you can world’s best professional cyclists race 100 miles and cheer on the amateur athletes cycling for the sheer thrill of the challenge!

The ride is a great way to keep the inspiration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games burning. We’re always excited by new challenges as we see them as ways to inspire ourselves to achieve new goals and personal bests. Our osteopath Alan Burke took part in the race last year and will be back again for more next year. We’ll let you know how he gets on after race day – he’s aiming to improve on last year’s time, as always!

This year, we want to get involved and offer you a discount if you’re taking part in the RideLondon event. Bring your race number into the clinic and receive 20% off your treatment. This offer is valid for one treatment up until 31st August.

You also don’t need to wait until after the race to come in – if you feel a massage would have you firing on all cylinders on the day, come on in! If you have a niggling injury, we’d encourage you to come in for a consultation with one of our practitioners before taking part in the race, this can prevent you exacerbating an old injury and ruining your enjoyment of race day.

However, if you’re raring to go, don’t forget you have the whole of August to take advantage of the offer and have a check up after the race. You can get some advice on how to recover and maintain your fitness – maybe you’ll even get a recommendation for the next race you can enter! Good luck to all those taking part in the RideLondon event. We look forward to seeing you and hearing how you did!
