Event Summary
Event Overview
Welcome to the 2024 edition of The Great Escape!
The 210km route will take you from the heart of London to the rolling countryside of Essex and back via quiet roads and picturesque villages. This year for the first time we will be offering an official 'Mini Break' edition for those looking for something a little shorter. Covering 140km of the full route, The Great Escape Mini Break Edition is a great way to join the day.
This year we're partnering with our friends at the fantastic Via Atelier in Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross where our ride starts and Babel Beerhouse where the ride finishes - so join us for a pre-ride breakfast and post-ride celebrations.

regulations of British Cycling.
Our ever popular event is back for another year and for the first time, we are running an official shorter 140 km Mini- Break Edition of the full route.
This year we're partnering with our friends at the fantastic Via Atelier in Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross where our ride starts and Babel Beerhouse in Coal Drops Yard where the ride finishes
The route
The 210km route takes you from central London through the rolling countryside of Essex, with a total elevation of 1,789m. The route starts in King's Cross in central London, before heading out to the quiet lanes and picturesque villages of Essex. There's a choice of cafe stops In Blackmore (46k) or The Bakehouse (52k) and ICC's feed station in Great Dunmow will be open on both the outward and return legs (75k and 141k).
The 140km route with a total elevation of 1089m, follows the same route as the full version to the feed station in Great Dunmow where it turns and heads back to London along the same path as the full route. Riders can decide on the day what route they prefer to do.
