On the 24th to 28th April I will make the journey with SFC from the UK to Amsterdam over 4 days! We will be starting just outside of London and travel through Dunkirk, Bruges, Rotterdam and finally arrive in Amsterdam. The charity will be supporting some local mums to complete the cycle, some of which have never cycled before, and other determined individuals!
The challenges is ‘four countries in four days’ for obvious reasons.. this is a huge challenge in itself let alone for someone who hasnt done much cyclying. I myself have never been any further than 25 miles! SFC have previously completed a cycle from Bath to Paris with great success and wanted to push it to the next level. Not only is this providing an amazing sense of achievement for all involved, but getting us out into the community and seeing parts of the world some may not have visited otherwise.
I have previously completed events with SFC such as the Bristol inflatable 5k alongside some of the mums they support and their activities with young adults with learning disabilities. I have seen first-hand the impact this has had and I’m keen to tackle a challenge with them! I am absolutely no cyclist, you may have seen on my bio on our Snapdragons website I popped ‘cycling’ down as a hobby – this was absolutely in anticipation of my training starting last year which in fact did not start until January! It will be a huge achievement for me to make it to Amsterdam especially alongside SFC with Snapdragons spurring me on every pedal turn of the way!
