Football to Amsterdam June 2020 postponed

Due to the acute risks to health posed by COVID -19, PCUK has postponed the June 2020 Football to Amsterdam ride from the Olympic Velodrome to the Johan Cruyff Arena, Amsterdam. Whilst not surprising, this came as a massive disappointment to the 28 Cycle On You Spurs riders; both the biggest team nationally and of all our teams since we first participated in the ride in 2016.
In the last few days PCUK have started provisional planning for a rescheduled F2A20, as follows: 

• PCUK is initially looking at 4-6 September and is currently asking all registered riders to indicate availability. Given the reputation of our team and its current size, we were asked to test the water and, with a 24 hour turn around, 23 of our 28 strong team said ‘yes’. The others are hoping to defer to June 2021.
• It is expected that a decision on whether to confirm the dates will be made this week. This is tremendous work by the PCUK team as they have had to line up the ferry company, hotels and Eurostar.
• ​PCUK are also working on a back-up in case the ride can’t go ahead in early September.

Currently, COYS has raised over £21,000, including over £600 from the THST Board and members. If F2A20 goes ahead then all money collected to date, together with any further donations in these difficult times, will just go forward to PCUK later in the year, as was the case in previous years. Those riders who can’t make the new dates can defer to F2A21, taking their fundraising with them. Should F2A20 be cancelled then riders can seek to defer and take their fundraising with them.
