He was used to bashing opponents as one of rugby league’s most feared forwards.
But ex-Great Britain captain Adrian Morley is now preparing to bash the roads on an epic 540-mile bike route through North America. The legendary former Leeds, Warrington and Sydney Roosters prop doesn’t even really like cycling. However, he’ll be donning the lycra for charity Rugby League Cares when they start their mammoth challenge at Niagara Falls on Sunday.
In just six days, Morley and 17 other riders - including ex-England team-mate Keith Senior - hope to trek all the way to New York. The most capped player in British rugby league said: “It’s true - I’m not a keen cyclist. Not at all! And that was part of the attraction. I like doing things that take me out of my comfort zone.
