Evans Cycle RideIt! Essex - Secret Nuclear Bunker

Cycle Sportive , Brentwood – Sunday, 22 Jun 2014

Registered Sportive

Event Summary

Event Overview

After a year’s absence, we are back in Essex with a new, rather unique venue. Now a non-operational facility, the secret nuclear bunker at Kelvedon was designed to protect military and civilian personnel during the Cold War. Now open to the public, we think it’s the perfect (and most interesting) venue to hold a RideIt! sportive. Situated just down the road from Epping Forest, this ride will feature routes that take in quiet lanes and gently rolling terrain around the Essex countryside. This is one of our flatter rides that will allow you to clock up some miles whilst enjoying some beautiful English scenery at arguably the best time of year for road cycling.
