HCH Annual Ride Schedule

The ride schedule will usually be tied to an  event external to HCH and subject to the timings of those events. Ride leaders will post rides on Let's Ride on an ad hoc basis; the list below includes events that require elements of both ride coordination and event management. 


Easter Ride

World Bicycle Day
World Bicycle Day is celebrated every year on June 3rd. The United Nations declared this official day in April 2018 to honor the bicycle's history, longevity, and usefulness.

Bike Week
This is a cycling UK event. We usually run a ride every day of the week and may include an evening ride with the possibility of a pub stop.

London Cycling Festival 
This is a London Cycling Campaign event. HCH have participated since 2025 and from 2026 have had to use LCC booking systems. 

Ley Hill Classic Car Show
Typically in August HCH organises two rides to converge on this show as it makes for a special day.

Diwali Event
This aligns with Diwali which has a variable date.

Beginner Bike Rides 
These happen on Saturday at 2pm when volunteers are available. 

Christmas Family Ride

Tour: Chelmsford to Clacton-on-Sea

This post describes a 3-day cycle tour from Chelmsford to Clacton-on-Sea staying overnight in Colchester and Felixstowe. Just add a start date and book your hotels. Specific timings assume a Monday to Wednesday tour in 2026 so your own train times may be different. An average of 300m ascent over 61km each day on average means this is a relatively flat tour with options to reduce the mileage each day by using the train.    The route makes heavy use of NCN 1 and NCN 51, and if you keep moving on the last day you should have time for a dip in the sea!! Seriously, prepare to enjoy a swim at Holland-on-Sea. Start Point:  Chelmsford Station (Greater Anglia) Finish Point:  Clacton-on-Sea Station (Greater Anglia) Meetup Time:  09:15 Start Time:  09:30 Route: Chelmsford to Clacton-on-Sea   Route (alt): Harwich to Clacton-on-Sea   GPX File GPX File (alt) No. Days:  3 Overnight:  Individuals book their own accommodation in ...

Organised Rides

Here are a number of Ready-made bike rides with the information required to advertise scheduled rides on British Cycling's Let's Ride platform or other sites. If using Let's Ride then have the necessary text, photo and GPX file ready to copy in to their form because at the time of writing the platform can clear some data fields when updating the photo or the GPX file. Separate pages exist for each ride with the information presented as Let's Ride expects.
