Hi i`m a local postman in tewkesbury and on the 2nd August i will embark on a 72mile bike ride with Martin Allen (CTFC Manager)Associate Director Simon Masding, 5 dedicated supporters and Mike Pink of Cheltenham Cycles from Maidenhead to Cheltenham Town football club. There was more riders but on guy has drop out un known reason and BBC`s Mark Cummings has droped out due to injury. This event has been organised to help raise much needed cash for the football club, and help Martin prepare his squad for the up coming season.Leaving at the crack of dawn we will arive at the ground in time for the friendly game against Birmingham.

We will all need lots of support so we'll make sure we give you lots of updates of our plans over the next eight weeks"
