The RideLondon festival of cycling returns in May and includes routes in Essex, including our District. The event will take place from Friday 24 May to Sunday 26 May 2024, and there will be some delays and some road closures over the weekend.
On Friday 24 May the stage one Classique Womens elite race enters the Braintree District near Finchingfield, and then heads towards Sible Hedingham, passes through Gosfield to Halstead and then heads towards White Colne where it leaves our District. This will be controlled by a police rolling road block bringing traffic to a hold for about 20 minutes at the most.
On Saturday 25 May the stage two Classique Womens elite race starts and finishes in Maldon. It will enter our District at a couple of small touch points for example near Witham.
The mass participation ride on Sunday 26 May briefly passes by Blake End near Great Saling coming from Dunmow. There will be a full road closure in the area all day for the duration of the race. Road closures are necessary for the safety of everyone taking part in RideLondon-Essex, but provisions are in place for care providers to make home visits as planned.
