Spare me those hills on my epic journey

I HAVE always wanted to go to Holland, but there’s probably easier ways of getting there than by bike!

In June, I’ll be taking on Prostate Cancer UK’s Football to Amsterdam bike ride challenge.

I’m part of Dagenham & Redbridge’s team and have already raised £1,200 for a great cause.

I did a 35-mile ride a couple of years ago. It was around Essex, which is really hilly, but I did it, felt OK and had a good sense of achievement.

This ride starts from the Olympic Stadium and goes out through the Essex countryside. Let’s hope Holland is as flat as everyone says!
