Cyclists prepare for hospice's Tour de Jersey race

There are a number of courses all starting from Albert Pier

Cyclists are preparing ahead of Jersey Hospice Care's Tour de Jersey, which kicks off on Sunday.

There are a number of courses, all starting from Albert Pier, so cyclists can choose from taking part in the Mini Tour right up to the 100km Full Tour.

According to organisers, last year's event raised more than £17,000 for the charity, which supports essential care for hospice patients as well as supporting their families.

Scott Douglas, events manager, said: "This year, we've introduced a new route to make the Tour de Jersey even more accessible and family-friendly than ever."

He added: "As well as the Mini Tour for those just starting out, the new 11km Bay Tour is designed for confident young riders or families wanting a scenic spin.

"There is then the Railway Tour for those ready to go a bit further, and more experienced riders can opt for the 50km Half Tour or the 100km Full Tour."
