The 2017 edition of Islington Cycling Club's The Great Escape, will be on Sunday 14 May.
This year, we are running the event under British Cycling (as a non-competitive, reliability trial), and not AudaxUK, however the usual atmosphere, cake and post-ride celebrations are guaranteed!
The 200km route will take you from the heart of London to the rolling countryside of Essex and back via quiet roads and picturesque villages. There are two great rest stops at Great Bardfield (the Knead Cafe at The Blue Egg) and at Great Dunmow.
We again partner with Look Mum No Hands! where our ride starts in Old Street, so join us there for a pre-ride breakfast and post-ride celebrations.
Like previous year's sell out editions, 2017 will have a field of 400, so tell all your friends and family that this is the cycling challenge to set yourself for next year.

Some pictures and videos from the 2016 event can be found here and here.
