Now with additional motivation provided via MOVEMBER.

This will be the fifth year in a row that a group of rather mad people from various technology groups in the BBC will cycle to IBC in Amsterdam. On the 4th of September we leave from various locations in London. Three days and 175 miles later, we hope to arrive in Amsterdam. (Note that this doesn't include crossing the North Sea, which could prove a daunting cycling challenge.)

Surely this kind of madness deserves to be encouraged. All money raised will go to Children in Need. Please dig deep and sponsor us.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: BBC Children in Need will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
