    1. Come on, you should have climbed up that hill next to the locks…tour de france awaits you 2 😉….. and i vote for this being an annual thing 😉🤣😉 …Great job fellas 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    2. Gosh no easy ride hope you can walk tomorrow Well done you two the money you raise is going to a great cause next time pick something easier but you did it yeah

    3. Cracking effort both of you 👏🏼 You’ll be sore tomorrow in places you didn’t know exist. Good luck putting socks on or tying your shoe laces tomorrow 🤣👴🏻 I’ll sponsor you some money now Kev – you saint 😇

    4. Well done, lads. Fantastic effort. We used to do North Liverpool to Conwy or Llandudno and back in a day when we were kids. First ferry across the Mersey in the morning and last one back in the evening. Tough going, and that was on roads, not rutted towpaths. I'm a lot older now, but have often thought of doing the Leeds – Liverpool canal on a bike. Never done it though.

      A rucksack with food, drinks and dextrose tablets for energy are a must. 😃

      Anyway. Well done. It's a great cause too.

    5. Congratulations to the pair of you on achieving this task. It takes a lot of guts & determination to put yourself through it. The money you raise will hopefully ease the pain, for a bit at least. The satisfaction that you never gave in should fill you with pride, Kev. I know what you are like. We are proud of what you have both done.

    6. Well done, Kev! 👏👏An amazing feat of endurance! Those years in the army really taught you how to grind past the pain!
      The lock progression at Leeds was impressive! It reminded me of the locks on the Kennet and Avon canal! This is 57 miles with 105 locks! Maybe a future fund-raiser?

    7. Hardest thing you've ever done…? Is that including all those hikes and training manoevers during your days in the Service?
      Did I miss something, I knew this bicycle ride out in the countryside was coming up, but I must have missed the date, when did you do this?
      Hats off to ya for completing it, despite your knee niggles. Hope it heals itself quickly. You need a weeks rest now, and a loving wife to care for ya!!

    8. Mate your a pair of warriors doing that 👍🏻✌🏻 All for a boss cause too. Hats off to the both of ya's, honestly total respect going through what you went through to give to homeless people your a star mate 👌🏻✌🏻👍🏻

    9. Fair play kev and richard your determination and positivity helped you achieve your goal for a wonderful cause absolutely brilliant you've done your city proud well done guys

    10. Well done Kev & Richard that's some achievement. Me & my daughter cycled from Wigan to Southport & back that was hard enough I've donated £5 wish it could be more, great work guys for a great cause. YNWA. Martin from Wigan.

    11. Well done lads, cracking job with a bad knee as well. Always wanted to do that myself but after watching that I think I might swerve it 😂
