RideLondon

About

This May Colchester City Centre will host the finishing line of stage one of The Ford RideLondon Classique.

The Ford RideLondon Classique is part of the UCI Women’s WorldTour, the highest level of professional women’s cycling in the world. It became a three-day stage race for the first time in 2022 when Dutch sprinter Lorena Wiebes (then riding for Team DSM) won all three stages and the general classification in a dominant display. 

The three-day stage race between Friday 26 May and Sunday 28 May will once again have two stages in Essex before the famous final stage in central London. All three stages will be broadcast by the BBC in the UK. 

Stage One (150km) on Friday 26 May will start in the medieval market town of Saffron Walden, located in the west of Essex before a stunning finish on East Hill in Colchester, the oldest recorded town in Britain.

There will be a free spectator zone on Hollytrees Meadow in Castle park with a big screen, catering, boucy castle and other community stalls.
