On 1st September, Nathans Dad Matt, Brother Billy, Uncle Joe and a few crazy friends and supporters will be cycling from Liverpool to Leeds along the canal, they are looking to do this in 2 sections. Reaching Burnley at the end of the first day and having completed around 68 miles possibly a little more.
Having undertaken the ride twice previously myself i know the pain they will go through on that first day!!! All of you out there that are saying its the canal its flat, take a look at the Wigan locks, in 2 miles there are 21 locks!!!
Not all the paths are nice and paved or tarmac, in fact most of the first day is mud and being by the canal it's sticky and like clay.
None of those taking part are hardcore cyclists, in fact i know Anna hasn't ridden a bike in years and is suffering just in training, so please get behind these guys and support them.
Sponsor forms will be going out to them all ASAP, or contact us at nathantagrugby@gmail.com and we can provide details of how to sponsor them.
We are also looking for an event sponsor, for cycling tops and maybe a few inertubes, as punctures are a fact of life on the canal. If you have a cycling company or a business that would be interested then please contact Mark at nathantagrugby@gmail.com . Nathan has over 3,500 Twitter followers, at least a hundred hits a week on the blog and Facebook too so we can offer good promotion of your company name.
