Around 1,000 cyclists took part in last weekend’s Eden Classic, Cornwall’s biggest bike event.

The mass-participation sportive is now in its third year.

Bright sunshine welcomed cyclists coming from as far afield as Belgium, London, Birmingham, Essex and the Isle of Wight before they set off on the spectacular and challenging route through some of the most scenic spots on the south Cornwall coast.

Riders were on a choice of three routes, 35, 62 and 100 miles, with food stops along the way at the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Jubilee Inn in Pelynt.
