It gives amateur riders newer to cycling a unique opportunity to pedal past impressive London landmarks – all on traffic-free roads and is ideal for all riding abilities.

RideLondon, which has featured a Women’s UCI WorldTour race, mass participation rides over 100 miles, 60 miles and 30 miles and FreeCycle, will not take place in 2025 as the organisers work on a new concept for the world’s greatest festival of cycling. Full refunds will be given to everyone who has entered the 2025 RideLondon-Essex 100 mile event (entries for the 60 and 30-mile events have not opened).

Like both the 100-mile and 60-mile rides, the Ford RideLondon-Essex 30 sets off from Victoria Embankment in central London before heading north-east. Riders then cruise up to South Woodford, close to the Essex border, where they turn around for the return to central London and a spectacular finish at Tower Bridge.
