Ford RideLondon FreeCycle

The route for Ford RideLondon FreeCycle will be announced in early 2024.

Ford RideLondon is the world’s greatest cycling festival. It takes place over three days in London and Essex  and features a series of rides and events, designed to offer something for everyone regardless of age, ability or background. It has raised more than £85 million for charity since the first edition of the event in 2013.

Information on the Ford RideLondon-Essex 100, 60 and 30 mile routes will be found on this page. The routes for the three stages of the Ford RideLondon Classique and Ford RideLondon FreeCycle will be published as soon as they are confirmed.

Information on road closures will be available here in the new year, while every address in the postcode areas the routes pass through will be posted a full list of road closure locations and times for their area in spring 2024.

While road closures are necessary to ensure the safety of everyone taking part in the event, no area will have road closures on more than one day. The exact length of road closures depends on which event is taking place.

For the Ford RideLondon Classique professional women’s race, temporary road closures will be in place along the route (except the start and finish venues). This means the road is shut shortly before the first riders come through and then reopens after the last riders and support vehicles have passed. This period of closure usually lasts around 30 minutes.

For the start and finish venues, where it is necessary to build infrastructure, such as the start and finish gantries and infrastructure for the live TV broadcast, it is necessary for us to close the roads for a longer period of time.

For the Ford RideLondon-Essex challenge rides, we do put in place full road closures, again to ensure the safety of the participants taking part. The length of these road closures depends on the route location, we reopen the roads when it is safe to do so and as soon possible after the last rider has passed.
