Kirkstall Forge to Wigan Pier

Prelude

After last years relativley easy ride and great route  the lads tasked me with planning a similar route.

After much deliberation and thought I decided on this option alongside the Leeds Liverpool Canal..

Starting on the outskirts of Leeds to avoid the city center, the distances and overnight stays fell into place.

This year the colour scheme was Red and White to reflect the colours of the roses for the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire

Trying to find a suitable image for the shirts was difficult

I was just going to go with a white rose but the cyclists wanted something to reflect the ride by the Canal

so Colin N came up with his own origional sketch, I asked the shirt printers if it was possible to put it on a shirt and they said yes and thought it was a great design

So order placed and Shirts printed and yes they do look good
