Prudential RideLondon 2014 in pictures: Cyclists battle Bertha rain and storms
Brave cyclists took to the streets today despite the heavy rainfall, light flooding and thunderstorms caused by storm Bertha and in stark contrast to yesterday's sunshine.
The second day of the cycling festival hosted the Surrey 100, Handcycle Classic and Surrey Classic races, however organisers were forced to shorten the route through Surrey due to rainfall in the area, reducing it from 100 to 86 miles and missing out Leith Hill and Box Hill.
Around 24,000 riders were expected to participate in the Surrey 100, from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park through scenic Surrey to the finish line on The Mall near Buckingham Palace, with another 150 professional riders racing on an extended route.
Former England captain Martin Johnson and rowing champion Tim Foster have exchanged balls and boats for bikes to take part in this year's event.
Other famous faces taking part include former Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman and chefs John Torode and Jean-Christophe Novellli.
The world's top para-cyclists also participated in a high octane race from Kingston to The Mall.
