London to Southend Bike Ride

Starting in Hackney's Victoria Park, this 52-mile charity ride with a challenging rating of 3 (for the regular and reasonably fit cyclist, with terrain including some challenging hills) takes in the county of Essex before reaching the pretty gardens of Priory Park, Southend, where refreshments, music and sports massages will be on offer for the finishers. Money raised will go to the British Heart Foundation.
