CLOSE to 100 cyclists took part in Le Tour de Witham ride this weekend.

The keen cyclists returned for another year of family fun, taking part in 25-mile, 50-mile and family-led rides.

Kirsty Henson, events planner at the Witham Boys' Brigade who helped organise the event, said: "It was amazing weather this year and we had a really great turn out.

"They had a really good ride in the morning and our last 50-mile rider came in at about 3pm.

"Everyone enjoyed it and we had some really good feedback."

Sports clubs including Witham Hockey Club turned up to do some sporting activities with the cyclists.

There were four family rides throughout the day and between 80 and 100 people took part.

The ride, which started at Witham Town Park, was held on Sunday, July 3.
