The Essex Season Ender
Entrants to the aptly named Essex Season Ender sportive receive a free High5 trial pack plus a 750ml water bottle if they sign up before October 31st. If this isn’t enough of a lure, then the two stunning route options should be.
The Essex Season Ender heads out North East from Redbridge Cycling Centre onto quiet rolling countryside roads. Both routes take in stunning scenery that are extremely popular amongst local cyclists due to the variety of terrain on offer – as both routes take on hills such as Hoe Lane, as well as offering flatter sections for those looking to get their average speed up.
The film above is from SportiveUK who organise the Essex Season Ender and who also organised the successful Hertfordshire 100 in August. It shows you the fun that you’re in for with the winter sportive!
Route options: 43 or 72 miles
Event address: Redbridge Cycling Centre, Forest Road, Ilford, Greater London, IG6 3HP
