My story

 

Amsterslam09

We're really going all out for this year's Amsterslam09 event! We're taking 28 novice long distance cyclists all the way to Amsterdam and back to try to raise a massive £10,000 for the charity!

Come and see us all off on Friday 10th July at the York Designer Outlet!

Help us to raise money for Jessie's Fund!

On the 10th July 09 we're taking 28 cycling novices from York to Amsterdam, riding approximately 250 miles to raise money for Jessie's Fund. 

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 10th July - Cycle from York Designer Outlet to Hull (52 flat miles) stop for lunch in a pub on the way – take overnight Ferry.
    Sat 11th July – 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 12th June – Sightseeing day in Amsterdam! Mon 13th July – Depart Amsterdam and head back to Rotterdam past windmills, canals, etc (70 flat miles) – ferry home.
    Tues 14th July – 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!
