Around 5,000 cyclists participate in Hong Kong Cyclothon on Sunday, after the event's return after a four-year absence. The Cyclothon, starting from Tsim Sha Tsui, has two races of 50-kilometre and 30km ride, and launched under gusts with the lowest temperature this morning recording only 9.4 degrees. The 50km ride with over 2,800 participants started at 5.20 am from Salisbury Road near Empire Centre in East Tsim Sha Tsui heading for Ting Kau Bridge. The finishing point is located at Salisbury Road opposite the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. A rider was hit by a hoarding during his race as the wind blew some of the boards around the course.
