STAFF from a Great Sankey gym are gearing up to follow in the wheel treads of Tour de France cyclists for ‘Le North West’ cycling challenge on Sunday.

David Lloyd Leisure club employees from across the north west will be pedalling nearly 100 miles taking in the Warrington gym and other north west bases along the way to raise cash for children’s charity Together for Shorter Lives.

Gareth Beard, from David Lloyd, said: “Team members from 10 clubs in the region will be supporting the challenge and we’re all competing with each other to see who can raise the most money for this great cause.”
