Tour de Jersey rides take place in island

Cyclists have been pedalling around Jersey as part of a charity event supporting a hospice.

Tour de Jersey was hosted by Jersey Hospice Care on Sunday with four courses - 100km (62.1 miles), 50km (31 miles), 24km (14.9 miles) or 7km (4.3 miles) - available for riders.

Organisers said all the routes started at the Albert Pier in St Helier with the longer rides setting off at 07:00 BST and the shorter distances starting at 10:30.

Money raised from the event would be used to help Jersey Hospice Care's work providing support for people with life-limiting or threatening conditions.

Scott Douglas, events manager at Jersey Hospice Care, said the event provided a boost to the charity and was for all in the community.

He said: "It’s an event aimed at getting everyone out on their bicycles, no matter their experience, to explore and enjoy the island.

"There’s a route to suit everyone, and you can build on it year on year."
