This cycling charity event takes place on the 19th of September, organised by executive search firm, Compass Carter Osborne.
The Big 100 will bring together nearly 50 cyclists from across healthcare raising money for children’s charity Spread A Smile, with riders powering through stunning Surrey for either a 100km or a 100-mile planned cycle route.
