Thousands took part in an annual bike ride from Philadelphia to the jersey shore to raise money for cancer research.

Slightly over 4,500 bikers took part in the American Cancer Society's 37th annual Ride for the Cure.

The Race got underway at 6:55am on Sunday.  Riders gathered for the start at the base of the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia.  The finish line was the Buena Vista Camping Park in Buena, NJ, approximately 66 miles from Philadelphia.

The goal this year is to raise $2 million.
