Situated on a stunning 220-hectare estate Writtle University College is the event's home for the day.
Established in 1893, it is one of the oldest specialist institutions in the UK and offers a range of land-based, design and sport courses and will be putting in their own team to ride on the day. There are exciting plans to create an event village for the whole family on ride day!
I must thank you and all your wonderful staff for organising the most amazing Ride Essex, I rode with a group of guys from VCC cycle club and we all had the best day, everything was perfect - even the British weather behaved. We appreciate how hard this event must be to organise so let me compliment you on everything being perfect and we all rode our hearts out. Thank you so much, see you next year! Bradley J
Amazing route, I really enjoyed it, thanks. Alex M
A well organised event. Lovely ride the the Essex countryside and villages. Good signage which is a plus for me. Good stations were well stocked with nice food to keep us going. Even got cheered in at the end. Loved my wooden medal, eco friendly which is good. A great ride with my daughter. Julie B
A brilliant event, well run and fun to ride. Not everyone thinks Essex is a pretty county but this might change your mind!
