About the RideLondon - Essex 100

RideLondon – the world’s greatest festival of cycling – returns with a unique 100 mile traffic free course.

The 2024 route will see participants set off from Victoria Embankment in central London and into Essex. Once in Essex, riders will glide past some of the county’s most picturesque towns and villages before joining a section of the 2014 Stage Three Tour de France route.

Once in central London, participants will then complete their ride to rapturous applause at Tower Bridge – a stunning Finish Line for the 100-mile challenge.
