Not known for its hills, the Essex 100 ride still offers up a formidable challenge due to its undulating terrain that will have you in and out the saddle. We’ve designed a route that takes you through quiet villages and farmlands where you’ll rarely see a motorist, maybe a tractor! The rolling countryside makes for a great day out with over 600 cyclists taking part.
With a choice of 100km or a tougher 100-mile route, you'll have a great day in the saddle with the Action Medical Research team. Whether you are an experienced rider aiming to get a fast time or a rider aiming to make a day of it and take in the sights, this ride is for you.
Expect excellent feed stations manned by friendly volunteers and a buffet style lunch mid-way through the ride that you will find hard to tear yourself away from! Riders will be supported by first class medical support, mechanical services and a sweep vehicle.
Many riders have experienced a RIDE 100 event, and thoroughly enjoyed the social atmosphere and return to enjoy the unique experience that we offer. Make 2012 the year that you take part in a RIDE 100 sportive! You won’t be disappointed.
