Hundreds of people met at San Anton Palace with their bikes this morning to take part in the annual fund raising event L-Istrina Bike Ride, part of Sports mill-Qalb charity events.
The event, one of the pillars of L-Istrina, takes place on the last Sunday of every October.
It is aimed at people who love cycling and who want to help raise funds for L-Istrina.
President George Abela welcomed the participants before they left on a route that will take them through Birkirkara, Hamrun, Floriana, Valletta and back to Attard.
