My story
Amsterdame08
We're really pushing the boat out for this year's Amsterdame08 event! It's the 60th Anniversary of Marie Curie Cancer Care so we're taking 60 novice female cyclists all the way to Amsterdam and back to try to raise a massive £30,000 for the charity!
We're going to be joined on our trip by Clare Frisby 
Come and see us all off on Saturday 24th May at the York Designer Outlet!
On the 24th May 08 we're taking 60 female cycling novices from York to Amsterdam, riding approximately 250 miles to raise money for Marie Curie. Cycling from York Designer Outlet to Hull past the Humber Bridge, we'll jump on a ferry to drink, dance and sleep our way to Rotterdam. Once in Holland we'll cycle along the coastline for miles, passing sand dunes, windmills, canals and fields of blooming tulips. We'll pass through the historic city of Harlaam to finish in the unique city of Amsterdam. Then we'll turn around and ride back again! Julia Bradbury will be making an appearance at a pre-event publicity event the weekend before we leave to deliver tulips to a local Marie Curie Hospice
