Prostate cancer kills one man every hour in the UK, and in 2014 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.
The 145-mile event includes 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 makes its way along the pristine pathways of the Netherlands culminating in a finale at the Amsterdam arena.
Not only will you and your mates have a great excuse to visit Amsterdam, you’ll be helping to beat prostate cancer.
