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.
