Story

The cyclists will be tasked to travel from Lille in France, through Belgium and back to Huddersfield Town to raise money for the Keep It Up Campaign.

The Journey will begin with travelling by ferry on Tuesday 8th May from Hull to Zeebrugge and then continuing with a visit to the memorials of Edward John Didymus, Leigh Richmond Roose and Charles Edward Randall's along the way.

On Thursday 10 May the cyclists will travel 76 miles across France to Belgium. Along the way the resting places of Sidney James and Larrett Roebuck will be visited before everyone attends the Last Post at Menin Gate at 8pm that evening.

Day three will see the cyclists race to Zebrugge for the overnight ferry back to Hull, whilst visiting the final resting place of former Town player Ernest George Kenworthy, the ride will stretch 57 miles.

The leg back to PPG Canalside is the longest for the riders, spanning 87 miles from Hull via York back to Huddersfield before Finishing at PPG Canalside for pie and peas, alongside a celebration of the ride.

In total the ride stretches 282 miles and the cyclists will have their annual lap of honour around the John Smith's Stadium, this time at the Club's final home game of the season against Arsenal.
