Event overview

This year Islington Cycling Club have moved our popular event to September as the perfect way to close your summer riding season. The 209km route will take you from the heart of London to the rolling countryside of Essex and back via quiet roads and picturesque villages. This year we're partnering with our friends at the fantastic Via Atelier in Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross where our ride starts and finishes - so join us there for a pre-ride breakfast and post-ride celebrations.

This event is part of The Great Escape.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
