Many cyclists from across Kent have joined the 100,000 taking part in events over the weekend. Amateurs are tackling the 100-mile or 46-mile challenges starting at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and ending at the Mall in Central London.
The event is in its fifth year and attracts cyclists of all ages and abilities, with the first cyclists heading off at 5.45 this morning. Riders were warned of slippery surfaces due to heavy rain yesterday and overnight.
