Wheels of Steel 3

The Wheels of Steel have been riding a 100 mile challenge around the time of

Avril Townshend's anniversary for three years now.

This year Avril's son, and Wheels of Steel organiser, Paul Townshend was

generous to share the money he usually raises for Cancer Research with

Joiningjack.

Paul arranged for all his team to wear customised T-shirts with a picture of his

mum on their chest and the jj logo on their sleeves.

The riders were a mixed bunch from more experienced cyclists to those just keen

to support a good cause.

The former took great pleasure dragging the latter over the hills on a scenic route

to Lancaster and back again. All part of the challenge!

The troop arrived back in Wigan and were met by a group of friends and

supporters at Bentley's on King St Wigan.

Bentley's hosted a bbq and there was a bit of Karaoke before even more

fundraising. A raffle and auction was held and £500 was raised for Joining Jack.

Thanks lads, thanks for all of your effort.
