I’m riding the Leeds Liverpool Canal with a friend in October, there and back, and i need some advice on a few things.

First of all, has anybody done this ride before and what is it like?

Second, we are planning to do it in four legs, meaning we’ll need a B&B or Youth Hostel around Burnley or Blackburn, does anybody happen to know such a place? The cheaper the better!!

Finally, I’ll be using a that has rear suspension, could this be a problem for pannier racks?

Hiya, I think a few of the team did it in one day or something equally daft a good few years ago. Make sure you have padded shorts was the tip I was given.

Not sure about B&B’s.

Panniers won’t work with full sussers. Try these beam racks instead:
