Explore two cities in two days as you cycle from London to Amsterdam – the bike capital of the world.
Cycling from London to Amsterdam – the bike capital of the world – is a classic European cycle experience and a wonderful challenge. Pedal over 130 miles in only two days and raise vital funds for families facing dementia.
Passing through the picturesque countryside of rural England, you’ll cross the Channel and continue across the flat landscape of Dutch Zeeland – expect an additional challenge if it’s windy! Arriving in Amsterdam with its network of canals, cobbled streets and wonderful architecture will give you an amazing sense of achievement, with a celebration in the city before heading home by train.
By cycling for Dementia UK, you’ll help our specialist Admiral Nurses provide life-changing support to more families facing dementia. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Every penny you raise will help our specialist Admiral Nurses provide a lifeline to more families facing dementia – and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Organising fundraising activities alongside your main challenge will help you smash your goal. Here are some ideas:
Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a fundraising welcome pack that’s full of advice on how to meet – and beat – your target.
Setting up an Enthuse page is a great way to fundraise online. Share your link with family, friends , and colleagues, and watch the donations roll in.
You can use Enthuse to explain why you’re taking on your challenge for Dementia UK, keep track of how much you’ve raised, and even share your training progress using Strava so your supporters can see how well you’re doing. The more you update and share your page, the more donations you’ll receive.
If your supporters are UK taxpayers and their donation is voluntary (not proceeds of a sale), we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated – at no extra cost to them. Make sure they fill in the Gift Aid form in your fundraising pack or tick the correct boxes if they’re donating online.
If you’re fundraising through Enthuse, the donations will automatically come to us. If you’ve got cash to pay in, you can do this online, by phone, by bank transfer or by post.
Pay a registration fee, raise your fundraising target approximately 10 weeks prior to departure, and we’ll cover the cost of your event place!
