BOSTON (WHDH) - Thousands of area residents took part in the Best Buddies Challenge bike ride Saturday, an annual charity event that wraps up in Hyannis Port.

7News anchor Adam Williams, reporter Justin Bourke and other members of the 7News team were among the more than 2,000 riders who took part in the event.

There were different routes for 30 miles, 50 miles, and the full 100-mile ride.

The weekend of festivities kicked off Friday with a charity game at Harvard Stadium featuring New England Patriots stars Tom Brady and Julian Edelman.
