London to Maldon

Ride leader: Nick

The last London Night Ride of the year, a gentle saunter to Maldon in Essex. A revised route out of London, then heading North East and avoiding places with Ford in their name, we climb very gently to our halfway control arranged by the scouts at Doddinghurst (not far from Shenfield if anyone is struggling).​ From then on it’s mainly downhill to the coast, through Blackmore, on via the Walthams and Terling, then South East to our destination, The Mighty Oak at 96km.​

​Registration is now open below (please remember to pay £10 for the halfway stop as detailed in the registration form)​.

​Maldon Station is in Station Road. As the last train was in 1964, here are options for getting home:​

• The easy option is Witham at 11km. Frequent service to Liverpool St via Stratford

  • Route here​

• For the more energetic, a pleasant ride to Shenfield (about 35km) for Elizabeth line to Liverpool St and beyond

  • Route here
