HUNDREDS of cyclists have been taking in the sights of the Jurassic Coast this morning.

Some 2,000 were estimated to be taking part in the Wiggle Jurassic Beast event, which set off from the National Tank Museum in Bovington at 7.45am this morning with a choice of 101, 63 and 36 mile routes.

The ride, now in its seventh year, took in Milton Abbas and Cerne Abbas, West Lulworth and Kimmeridge among other picturesque locations, while testing its participants with a series of tough climbs.
