The Wanstead Festival on Sunday 17 September 2023 will feature more cycling-related events than ever before!
Alongside the stalls and activities familiar to festival-goers, local cycling groups will be at the festival and will lead rides on the day, starting at the festival itself.
At Redbridge Cycling Campaign, we have two short taster rides – in the morning, from Wanstead High Street to Wanstead Park, a distance of four miles there and back. The afternoon ride will go from Wanstead to Ray Park in the Roding Valley, a distance of eight miles. Joyriders, the women’s cycling group, will also be at the festival, leading a ride from 10.30 to 13.30.
The rides will be slow, led by an expert ride leader and marshalled by cyclists who know just how to manage groups at junctions and keep everyone safe.
Inexperienced cyclists and accompanied children are welcome. If you’ve ever seen marshalled groups of cyclists riding along, and thought it looks fun but scary, or cursed them for being slow on the road but secretly wanted to find out more, this is a great chance to come along.
More details of our two rides are on our rides page.
