This will be my and the intrepid Team Tuirqouise's eighth year raisning money and is the 10th anniversary event.  This years event will be a European adventure around Belgium and the Netherlands between Monday 29 April and Friday 3 May 2019.

The money raised from the ride will go half to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and half to the Town Foundation. The Foundation will split
their half in three ways; one third to Kirkwood Hospice, one third to
Ruddi’s Retreat and they will use the remaining third for their own
Breakfast Clubs.

The Pedal for Pounds 10 with Made By Cooper journey will begin on

Monday 29 April 2019, when the cyclists depart on a coach from PPG
Canalside to catch an evening ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge.

The following the day after getting off the ferry, the cyclists will

travel 71-miles from Zeebrugge, through the medieval city of Bruges and
into Antwerp, where they will stay for the night.

On Wednesday 1 May 2019 the P4P10 participants will have a long day

in the saddle, cycling 107-miles from Belgium into the capital of the
Netherlands, Amsterdam.

After spending the night in Amsterdam, the cyclists face a 55-mile

race to the ferry! The route will take them through The Hague to
Rotterdam – the shortest leg of the journey.

Once again, the cyclists will spend the night on the ferry before

making their way home; cycling 80 miles from Hull back to Huddersfield
at PPG Canalside.

After recovering from the 313-mile ride, all the cyclists with then

gather together for a lap of honour ahead of Town’s final Premier League game of the season against Manchester United.

This year’s route was decided by Huddersfield Town Chairman Dean Hoyle, who commented:

“As it’s the 10th instalment of the Pedal for Pounds ride and my 10th
 year of being Chairman, it’s my choice, Chairman’s Choice, and I’ve
made sure there aren’t many hills!

“The route will be really picturesque and certainly one that everyone will remember; it’ll be something special.

“I can’t believe how far the Pedal for Pounds rides have come; it’s
now a huge event making a massive impact in the local community.

“We are hopefully going to break the £2 million mark, which is absolutely incredible.

“I would urge everyone to join me for what will be a fantastic cycling event.”
