The 221 km 1 on route chosen for the 2013 edition of the RideLondon–Surrey Classic was a variation of the course used for the 2012 Summer Olympics.http://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/News/Newsroom/Britain_gets_set_to_host_its_biggest_ever_one-day_race_s1_p14415.htm Britain gets set to host its biggest ever one-day race Prudential RideLondon 6 February 2013 2014-06-01 https://web.archive.org/web/20140829035641/http://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/News/Newsroom/Britain_gets_set_to_host_its_biggest_ever_one-day_race_s1_p14415.htm 2014-08-29 dead The route featured five categorised climbs and three intermediate sprint points.
Riders started from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park close to the Olympic Velodrome before passing close to Canary Wharf and the Tower of London on the way through central London. Leaving London by the A4 the route passed through Richmond Park, Kingston upon Thames and Hampton Court Palace.
In Surrey the route passed through Weybridge and Ripley on the way to the first categorised climb of Newlands Corner near Guildford before heading along the A25 to Abinger Hammer. The route then featured three 27.3 km 1 on laps of a hilly section routed through Holmbury St Mary, Forest Green and Ockley which included the climb of Leith Hill - the highest point in South-East England.
The route back to London travelled through Dorking and included a single ascent of Box Hill before the largely flat run-in via Cobham, Kingston upon Thames, Wimbledon and Putney. The final kilometres followed the Embankment, past the Palace of Westminster, along Whitehall and turned right through Admiralty Arch 400m from the finish on The Mall.

Race report
A breakaway of eight riders formed after 44 km, although their advantage did not increase beyond five minutes. The breakaway contained Ramon Sinkeldam of ARG 2013 who would subsequently amass enough points at the intermediate sprints and on the categorised climbs to win both the Sprints Classification and the King of the Mountains Classification.
With SKY 2013, OGE 2013 and VCD 2013 controlling the peloton the gap to the breakaway reduced to a little over two minutes after the three laps of the Leith Hill circuit. The peloton briefly splintered on the last categorised climb of Box Hill as David Millar of GRS 2013 set a furious pace which led to the escape of his teammate Jack Bauer together with Yoann Offredo (FDJ 2013b) and Simon Yates (Great Britain Cycling Team) - who eventually caught the early breakaway.
With the peloton approaching Yoann Offredo and Zico Waeytens (TSV 2013) attacked the remnants of the breakaway on the approach to Kingston upon Thames and built a lead of over a minute with 20 km left to race, however on the approach to London (within the final 6 km) they too were caught by the peloton — resulting in the widely expected bunch sprint on The Mall.
David Millar led the peloton through Westminster, but as the teams passed under the flamme rouge with 1 km to go it was FDJ 2013b who were the better organised, delivering Arnaud Démare to the line to win by a bike length from Sacha Modolo.http://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/News/Newsroom/Inspired_Frenchman_wins_first_Prudential_RideLondon-Surrey_Classic_s1_p16624.htm Inspired Frenchman wins first Prudential RideLondon–Surrey Classic 4 August 2013 11 August 2013 https://archive.today/20130811223558/http://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/News/Newsroom/Inspired_Frenchman_wins_first_Prudential_RideLondon-Surrey_Classic_s1_p16624.htm 11 August 2013 dead dmy-all
