The RideLondon-Surrey 100 is part of the Mayor of London's Prudential RideLondon festival of cycling, encompassing five separate events for amateur and professional riders, as well as disability cyclists.

The registration system will remain open until Monday January 5 2015 or until 100,000 registrations have been received, whichever comes first.

The second edition of the festival was held earlier this month and saw around 60,000 riders completing the RideLondon FreeCycle on the closed roads of the capital.

More than 20,000 amateur riders took part in this year's RideLondon-Surrey 100 race on an 86-mile route through London and Surrey.

But the event was marred by the death of 36-year-old Kris Cook, riding to raise money for Woking Hospice, after he collapsed and died of a cardiac arrest.

Italian World Championships gold medallist Giorgia Bronzini produced a sprint finish to defeat The Netherlands' world and Olympic road race champion Marianne Vos in the women's race at the RideLondon Grand Prix.

Adam Blythe beat fellow-Briton Ben Swift in the RideLondon-Surrey Classic, which also included an appearance from 2012 Tour de France winner and four-time Olympic champion Sir Bradley Wiggins.

"Watching Olympic hero Sir Bradley Wiggins ride through Surrey's stunning scenery and waves of avid amateurs tackle a route made even tougher by the weather was truly magnificent," said Surrey County Council Cabinet Member for Community Services Helyn Clack.

"I'm sure it inspired many more people to get on their bikes so they too can enjoy the amazing atmosphere of the London Marathon on wheels and perhaps the next Sir Bradley or Lizzie Armitstead will be participating when we welcome the event to Surrey again next year."

The entry fee for UK participants will be £58 ($97/€73) for the next two years.

"We held the entry fee at the same price for two years but the costs of putting on the UK's biggest sportive means that we need to increase the entry fee by £10.00 this year," said event director Hugh Brasher.

"Compared to entry fees for other traffic-free sportives, Prudential RideLondon is still incredible value with its route through the stunning Surrey countryside and our great capital city.

"We guarantee to hold the entry fee at this level for 2016 as well."

The 2015 Prudential RideLondon festival of cycling is due to take place over the weekend of August 1 and 2 next year with the 100-mile sportive on Sunday  August 2.

Organisers say the exact routes will be confirmed following a full review of this year's event.
