These cyclists were a tour de force as they braved the rain to cycle up to 200km today.
Tour de Manc took place today, with cyclists gearing up to the take in the sights of Bolton along with the rest of Greater Manchester.
The ride first took place in 2014 with cyclists riding through all 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester.
It bills itself as an event which uses cycling as a force for good by raising money for charity
The route today took riders through Harwood, Bromley Cross and Egerton, Edgworth and Turton.
Thanks @tourdemanc....what a fabulously friendly, and well organised event that was! 👏👏

Henry Lisowski was on hand to capture these wonderful pictures as they passed through Bolton riding through sometimes torrential rain.
The routes can range from 50km to 200km covering all of Greater Manchester.
This year there were four routes with some requiring true northern grit - including facing the Ramsbottom Rake.
Local cyclists took part in the sporting event today.
