CYCLISTS hit the roads in their hundreds to take part in the 16th annual Southend Bikeathon to raise money for Leukaemia Research.
About 700 riders pedalled 13 miles from Shoebury East Beach through the countryside around Barling and Great Wakering, before looping back to the beach.
Some intrepid bikers even did the route twice.
True to tradition, a replica Formula One racing car led the bikes out from the starting line shortly after 9am on Sunday.
