There are just hours of preparation left for the Brentford fans riding in to Europe.
Prostate Cancer UK is running its annual Football League cycle challenge this weekend.
This time tomorrow the third London to Amsterdam ride, which will see hundreds of football fans join many others with a football connection to rise 145 miles, will be underway.
Graham Goodden and Gabriel Jones from Brentford Football Club Community Sports Trust will be taking part, along with Bees fan Roy Beckerson.
Graham, the Trust’s Kicks and Street Sports Coordinator, and Gabriel, a Multi-Sports Coach at the Trust, will be Brentford’s official representatives – Club Champions – on the challenge and will also be representing the Trust.
They will join names including Luther Blissett, Terry Butcher and Matt Holland on the ride.
The star-studded peloton will be cycling from Leyton Orient FC to Dutch giants Ajax leaving in the early hours of tomorrow, Friday June 12.
The event will include a half-time pit-stop at Colchester United FC before the squad set sail from Harwich at the end of day one.
The second day, Saturday June 13, takes in a serene sojourn along the pristine pathways of the Netherlands culminating in a finale at the Amsterdam ArenA.
Prostate cancer kills one man every hour in the UK, and last year riders from more than 50 clubs helped raise more than £200,000 to support the 250,000 men affected by the disease in the UK.
Mark Burridge, best known as one of the voices of Bees Player, and Karen Manders represented The Bees on that ride.
The charity hopes to raise £250,000 this year.
