Last year more than 600 cyclists took part in the challenge to pedal around Essex to help raise thousands of pounds for Orchid cancer charity.  Setting off from Lake Meadows Park in Billericay, there are 5 different road routes to pick. The 100 mile timed sportive is the biggest challenge bringing  in serious club cyclists and those looking for a real test of endurance.  There are also 75, 40 and 20 mile routes.

There will be a barbecue, bouncy castle, live music and refreshments – yes Brentwood Beer will be there.
