Cycling maps of Colchester
Explore our city (and others in Britain) using the Cyclestreets map, the Cycling UK journey planner (best for longer trips) or this map of the National Cycle Network from the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. There’s also an Ordnance Survey map here. Colchester Borough Council’s Cycle Colchester team has a limited number of old-school paper maps – just ask. Finally here is a map of bike parking spaces (2024) at Colchester General Hospital.
• Local weather
• Local tides (based on Harwich; add 40min for the Strood at Mersea.)
Join us at Bike Meet
Come to Bike Meet – we would love to hear your ideas and we are sure you will love to hear our speakers. As Covid recedes we hope to return to actual meetings but mostly we meet virtually. The web address will be sent out on the CCC email group before the event starts. If you want to join a meeting to see what it is like before becoming a member or supporter, WhatsApp us or send us an email.
