My story

 

Amsterdame09

We're really pushing the boat out for this year's Amsterdame09 event! We're taking over 50 novice female cyclists all the way to Amsterdam and back to try to raise a massive £30,000 for the charity!

Come and see us all off on Friday 12th June at the York Designer Outlet!

Help us to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care 

On the 12th June 09 we're taking more than 50 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 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!

  • Fri 12th June - Cycle from York Designer Outlet to Hull (52 flat miles) stop for lunch in a pub on the way – take overnight Ferry.
  • Sat 13th June – Arrive Rotterdam . Cycle to Amsterdam (70 flat miles) - lunch on the way by the lake. Go out for the night in Amsterdam and sleep in a local hostel.
  • Sun 14th June – Sightseeing day in Amsterdam!

  • Mon 15th June – Depart Amsterdam and head back to Rotterdam past windmills, canals, etc (70 flat miles) – ferry home.
  • Tues 16th June – Cycle from Hull to York - a different route, through some lovely little market towns, stop for lunch at a pub. (52 miles). Arrive at York , slightly tired having had a fab adventure and made some new close friends.
We're doing this to raise CASH!

Our 2007 Amsterslam event for Marie Curie raised over £10000!!!
The 2008 Amsterdame event raised over £38,000!!!
