This summer we teamed up again with Cycling UK to offer FREE bike security marking and FREE classes. Loads of you got involved and it was so great to see it so popular.

To celebrate we'll be having a little bike ride on Sunday 22nd September around the emerging Colchester Orbital route. There will be 5, 10 and the full 15 mile options available depending on how you're feeling. The pace will be as gentle as it needs to be, and lots of it is off road or on designated cycle paths.

The expected routes are listed below. Please bear ind mind your ride leader may vary this slightly on the day if there are any restrictions or hazards.

5 miles - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30959704

10 miles - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30959663

15 miles - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30959661

Choose your preferred distance when you reserve your spot.

The Orbital is an initiative of Walk Colchester, and the Cycling Orbital is currently in the works to be launched alongside the Walking Orbital next spring.

Helmets are advised but not compulsory. Please make sure your bike is in safe working order. We'll be able to do a few tweaks for you at the start, but it's up to you to ensure your own safety.

See you for a ride!
