Excitement is building as motocross riders prepare to race it out on Weymouth Beach.
Weymouth Beach Motocross will returns today - Sunday.
More than 300 riders will race over the sands watched by an audience of thousands.
The event is free to watch, however, organisers are encouraging people attending to make charitable donations and programmes are available to purchase for £5 each on the day.
This is an amateur event and there will be prizes for the first 10 riders.
When will the beach be closed?
From the Pavilion end of the beach to the Jubilee Clock, the beach will be closed to the public from 8am on Sunday.
This is to allow heavy machinery to come onto the beach and build the sand jumps needed for the motocross.
How is the weather this weekend?
Sunday: Clear changing to cloudy by lunchtime. Highs of 12C.
What roads will be closed and when?
Road closures will be in place from 8am to 5pm on Sunday which will see part of the Esplanade and Custom House Quay closed.
The road fronting Devonshire Buildings will be open for access only.
Traffic will be re-routed through the one-way system around Alexandra Gardens to continue on the Esplanade, or drivers can use Pilgrims Way for access to Custom House Quay.
