BOSTON (CBS) – Drivers heading into Boston Sunday morning will find Storrow Drive and some downtown streets closed as more than 4,000 cyclists take over the roads for the annual Hub on Wheels.

Between 7 and 11 Sunday morning Storrow Drive will be closed outbound between Leverett Circle and the Elliot Bridge, and inbound between the Elliot Bridge and the Fenway/Kenmore exit.

Cambridge Street from Government Center to the Storrow ramps will also be closed for the start of the event.

There are three route options for the cyclists of 10, 30 or 50 miles around the city, with all ending at Government Center.
