Ford RideLondon is the world’s greatest cycling festival. It takes place over three days in London and Essex and features a series of rides and events, designed to offer something for everyone regardless of age, ability or background. It has raised more than £85 million for charity since the first edition of the event in 2013.
If you live on or near one of the Ford RideLondon routes from across the weekend, a road closure leaflet which includes maps and timings has been sent to you via post. You can also find more information about road closures and community access for all three days here:
No area will have road closures on more than one day and we have worked to minimise the closures wherever possible. The exact length of road closures depends on which event is taking place.
For the Ford RideLondon Classique professional women’s race, there will be road closures in place around the start and finish venues for each day. Meanwhile, temporary road closures will be in place along the Classique routes. This means the road is shut shortly before the first riders come through and then reopens after the last riders and support vehicles have passed. This period of closure usually lasts around 30 minutes.
For the Ford RideLondon-Essex challenge rides on Sunday 26 May, there will be full road closures to ensure the safety of the participants taking part. The length of these road closures depends on the route location. We reopen the roads when it is safe to do so and as soon possible after the last rider has passed.
