A FATHER and son will cycle 170 miles from coast to coast this weekend to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Scaffolder Dean Gardner, 39, and Shafton ALC pupil Leo, 12, set off from Morecambe at 7.30am this morning to ride 62 miles to Pateley Bridge in North Yorkshire on the route known as Way of the Roses.
They'll complete their next 62 miles from Pateley Bridge to Pocklington tomorrow, and finish up on Sunday with a 46 mile stretch from Pocklington to Bridlington on Sunday.
They can be sponsored via justgiving.com/deanandleowayoftheroses.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
