MORE than 800 cyclists breezed into Ludlow last week as part of the UK's most celebrated cycling challenge.

The group were making their way from Land's End to John o'Groats as part of the Deloitte Ride Across Britain, a 966-mile route broken into nine daily stages.

The stop in Ludlow came at the end of the third leg of the marathon with the large party having set off from Bath earlier in the day.
