The 2021 event took place today, Sunday, August 1, which saw cycling fans set off from St Peter's and head through a mixture of woodland, urban and rural terrain, on either 14, 25 or 40 mile routes.
It was one of a number of events returning to the city’s schedule after the lifting of covid restrictions.
