Final stage of soldiers' cycle ride

A group of amputee soldiers who started a 250 mile cycling trek in Sandringham on Saturday are expected to finish the ride in London today. This morning the 30 riders will start the final stage from Southend to Greenwich.

Over the past week the team from the UK and US have cycled through Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Southwold, Ipswich and Colchester.

The cyclists are all serving or veteran soldiers, who've been injured in the line of duty. They are using modified bikes, hand cycles and standard road bikes, depending on their needs.

The aim is to raise awareness of the challenges they face after injury. Their journey started at Sandringham in Norfolk on Saturday, they then made their way down the Norfolk and Suffolk and Essex coast.

It's the second time the event has been held in the UK and is based on the US Soldier Ride.
