Together with like minded friends, I’m taking part in a two day, 145-mile cycle ride 'Football to Amsterdam', from Barnsley FC in Yorkshire to the Dutch capital. I need training, padded shorts, good luck, and now have a road bike for the first time in years......

Please sponsor this effort if only 10p a mile - just £14.50 will make a difference.
