Riding from Liverpool to Leeds along the canal seems to be increasingly popular. Most recently Adam Hope and the Burnley Boys have ridden from Liverpool to Burnley and then Leeds over two days.
Here is their account of the ride:

They weren't very lucky with the weather or punctures but if the photos are anything to go by they enjoyed themselves. They got in the local papers too: http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/9242428.Burnley_cricketers_raise_over___3_000_from_canalside_trek/
Just as impressive as the ride itself is the money they raised for cancer charities, if you feel like it why not chuck them a few quid here: http://www.justgiving.com/teams/burnleyboys

Well done to everyone who has done the ride!

The Museum of Liverpool
This week the Museum of Liverpool finally opened, just a year late. It is still not yet fully open but it is well worth a visit. There were lots of people there today, this being the first week it has been open to the public. We got badges and a little flag, something for eBay in 20 years time. It was nice to walk into a museum in Liverpool and not know which way to go or where anything was or even what was there. The city's other museums are brilliant but I have been round them a lot.

The museum was so busy it was hard to get around and see everything, and we had a pram with us. We managed to see most things I think. I liked the model of Gerard Gardens, being a fan of Art Deco tenements and currently living in one of the surviving examples.
