THE LATEST in a series of popular organised cycle rides will take place in the borough later this month.

The Essex Ramble, which is part of the SkyRide series, will involve hundreds of cyclists from across Redbridge and beyond gathering at the bandstand in Seven Kings Park in Aldborough Road, Ilford, before taking in a picturesque 25-mile ride across the local countryside.

The route will take the riders out to Navestock before looping back via Chigwell Row, finishing up back in Seven Kings Park.

Riders should expect a brisk pace of nine to 10mph during the event, which will begin at 10am on Saturday, May 30 and is expected to last just over three hours.
