We are offering three different route options this year:
1. the Kelly-Ann Way 100k loop;
2. the classic EC Way 100 mile loop; and,
3. the Essex-Kent Grand Tour (or "EKG 300k”) which is a 300k route that takes in both Essex & Kent Counties.
Great Destinations along the ECW100 is a useful resource for finding great places enroute.

BE PREPARED:
These are unmarked bike routes of exceptional distance. Orienteering and map reading skills are important. Follow the map! Have a plan for breakdowns, flats and let others know about your plans. This is not an organized guided tour or sanctioned event in any way. It is simply a plotted route with a suggested timeframe. The route is also open to ride at any other time of year.
The routes are flat and scenic and loaded with amenities and things to see & do. But a note of caution. Flat rides means you must pedal every inch and the openness of some sections means the headwinds can be challenging - pushing you along nicely one way - then facing you later when you circle back! It is advisable to plan looping in the direction that'll have you finish with a nice tailwind.
