A group of gym members from Shipley are gearing up for a 110-mile sponsored cycle.

Members of the New Waterways Health and Fitness Club, in Wharf Street, Shipley, will be riding along the Leeds-Liverpool canal, starting at Liverpool, on Saturday.

Personal trainer Wayne Lupton said he hoped the event would raise £2,000 for Children's Heart Surgery Fund at Leeds General Infirmary.

"There are 16 of us going and we hope to make it back to Shipley within about ten to 12 hours," he said.

Anyone interested in sponsoring the group can contact the club on (01274) 532533.
