Improving your health is as easy as riding a bike! Get ready for RideLondon, the world’s greatest festival of cycling, with a new format, a new partnership with Essex County Council and a new three-day UCI Women’s World Tour road race. Let the Cycling for Health team help you get ready for the action.
The Women's rides are ideal for beginners. Cycling is a great way to get active and improve your health, cycling is a very low impact activity so it can be enjoyed by absolutely everyone.
The routes used are generally traffic free as we stick to bridleways and paths. The rides are approximately 10 to 18 km (6 to 11miles) depending on the session. Although this may sound short, the routes differ on intensity and terrain. You will have plenty of time to get to know the other members on your ride as we will always try and stop at a café for 15 minutes to take a well-earned break, normally halfway into the ride. Each ride is given a gradient rating.
COST:
Ride Only
Bring your own bike and helmet £5.20
Hire and Ride
Bike and helmet included £11.20
