Story

On the 17th April 2019, 26 riders will be setting off from Burnley Football Club to embark on an International journey in support of the Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal.

The first leg of the journey will be from Burnley across to Hull, where the riders will board the ferry across to Zebrugge.

On day two, the riders will continue in the saddle from Zebrugge, heading towards Dunkirk. There will be slight de-tour on this route whilst the riders pay their respects at the Ramscappelle military cemetery where many Burnley men from the East Lancs regiment are laid to rest. Day two will finish at Dunkirk.

On day three, the riders will take the ferry from Dunkirk to Dover.

Then on the final day, the riders will make their way from Dover and ride up to Chelsea Football Club, taking in all the sights of London on their way.

Funds raised from the cycle will be split, 90% to the Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal and 10% to Burnley FC in the Community. All riders are covering their own expenses for the ride, so every penny donated is going to good causes.

A special thank you to BooHoo for sponsoring the rider's jerseys and funding the back-up driver to ensure a safe and enjoyable event for everybody taking part!
