Dozens of cyclists have set off from Lynn today for the annual Lap of Anglia cycle ride, in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA).
The team departed on their four-day, 435 mile challenge, which is sponsored by Adrian Flux Insurance, from the helipad at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital this morning.
From there, they were due to ride a 102 mile route to Norwich, before they embark on a further 107 miles in the saddle to Ipswich tomorrow.

Friday’s challenge is a 102 mile course from Ipswich to Luton, before the team tackle the final 124 miles back to Lynn on Saturday.
Earlier this week, the charity revealed that last month was its busiest July ever in terms of call-outs and its busiest single month in more than four years.
