I'll be cycling from London to Amsterdam to get to #KubeCon. A few people have asked if I'm doing it for charity and honestly that wasn't behind it at all, but now I'm thinking, why not use this as an opportunity to raise some money for a good cause while I'm at it.

I'm cycling from north London to Harwich, getting the overnight ferry, and then riding from Hoek van Holland to Amsterdam. And then reversing the journey at the end of the week. Total riding will be about 500km, I think!
