Our Way of the Roses 2014 Itinerary outlines our first tour of the year, starting in Spring. Sustrans describes this as a spectacular coast-to-coast cycle route passing through both the red rose county of Lancashire and the white rose county of Yorkshire.

Sarah and I have completed this coast-to-coast tour once before. Back in 2012, this coast-to-coast formed the second of our training tours for the End-to-End (LEJOG). Indeed, we enjoyed it so much, when two of our Stockport Community Cycling Club friends, Alan and Gill, offered us the chance to repeat the tour we didn’t hesitate in saying yes.
