Tour of Cambridgeshire cycling event travelled through Benwick in Fenland

The Tour of Cambridgeshire travelled through Fenland during an exciting weekend of racing.

Riders cycled through Benwick as part of the action-packed event - and had the opportunity to qualify for the amateur World Championships in Italy this autumn.

The event kicked off on Saturday, June 11 with a 16.4-mile time trial.

On June 12, amateur riders battled 100-mile, 70-mile and 50-mile courses which started and ended at the East of England Arena and Showground in Peterborough.

Most routes on the tour are flat, giving cyclists of all abilities a chance at success.

Full road closures were in place, giving participants the freedom of the streets as they battled for victories.
