Event Summary
Event Overview
Welcome to the 2023 edition of The Great Escape!
This year we've moved our popular event to September as the perfect way to close your summer riding season.
The 209km route will take you from the heart of London to the rolling countryside of Essex and back via quiet roads and picturesque villages.
This year we're partnering with our friends at the fantastic Via Atelier in Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross where our ride starts and finishes - so join us there for a pre-ride breakfast and post-ride celebrations.
