If you have a passion for cycling and would love to raise vital funds and awareness by doing something you enjoy, or by taking on a new challenge, then then Ride London-Essex 100 2022 is the challenge for you.
Ride London not just one special day riding 100 miles on closed roads, but a journey as a partner in our mission to support Critically Endangered rhinos in Africa and Asia.
About the event
From the Start Line on Victoria Embankment, the 2022 route will head out into the Essex countryside for a 65-mile loop before returning to London for the spectacular finish at Tower Bridge. Ride London-Essex offers a unique opportunity to cycle on closed roads around iconic London landmarks and along some of South-East England’s most picturesque city and country roads.

Fundraising
On average our riders raise around £650 – £750, which contributes to our vision and mission to help all five rhino species thrive in the wild, by collaborating with partners to support endangered rhinos in Africa and Asia.
Sometimes this seems like a daunting figure to raise, however, there are endless ways of fundraising, from bake sales to corporate sponsorship and match funding, and we’re here to support you every step of the way!
