Tour de Tendring bike ride

OnRoad Leisure , Harwich – Sunday, 19 May 2024

Event Summary

Event Overview

60 or 20 mile circular routes, and a short off-road route at Clacton, the picturesque district of Tendring offers perfect cycling country with quiet roads, low hills and views to the sea. 

Choosing a Start and Finish point in either Dovercourt (Harwich 60 / 20 mile routes) or Clacton-on-Sea, (60 / short closed road routes).  Along the way we’ll visit St Osyth with its historic Martello Tower, Great Bentley - which boasts the biggest village green in England – and Great Oakley, its roots stretching back to the Domesday Book and, of course, Clacton - famous for its pier and pleasure gardens. 

At both Finish-points you’ll be able to unwind with refreshments and entertainment  - and perhaps top the ride off with a free swim at Dovercourt swimming pool...or maybe a splash in the briny at Clacton. (Weather permitting!)
