SUMMARY:The Stansted Airport Express 100
DESCRIPTION:100km cycling event starting from Witham, Essex. Controls at Thremhall Park and Witham., plus 3 information controls.\nThe route for 2026 is a reverse of previous editions and is subtly different: in particular there’s a more direct route early on through Braintree, as you should be through there before things get too busy. Also, if there should be sub-zero conditions, there’s a possible gritted road alternative onwards to Thaxted and down to the half-way control at Thremhall Park.\nCar parking available at the Labour Hall, Collingwood Road, Witham CM8 2EE. A mid-morning start offers the option of a civilised extension to 200km.\nBook Now\nAlong the route\nKey: Cafe Convenience Store Restaurant Service Station Supermarket\nWitham is a historic market town located in Essex.
