My story
UPDATES: -
- WE DID IT!!!
Amsterdam and back in 4 days! One of the days was 80 miles with 13 hours on the road! I totally mis-calculated the distance!
We hated coming back to England, we'd helped each other through technical and mental challenges; we really were a team. We did that last 40 miles at a very steady pace as one of our team had a knackered knee! But with help (Someone actually pushing the injured along!) we made it to the finish. Utterly incredible - we had no idea we could push ourselves so hard. Thank you to our sponsors who gave us the reason to force ourselves through pain and fatigue!
Can't wait to do the next one! - Gaz & Craz
- We've surpassed out target of £2500 by a staggering amount. Thank you so much for your support! Keep an ear out for us on the radio, and both eyes on the newspapers and possibly the TV over the next few days!
- See our team photos
- We need a big send-off when we depart from York Designer Outlet this Thursday (29th) at 9am, come along and wave us off!

Ride the Amsterslam - Help us to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care
In the last week of June we're riding over 200 miles from 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!
