We are delighted to announce that an astonishing 300 cyclists are now signed up to take part in the Club's biggest fundraiser to date, the Pink Link 'Pedal for Pounds 3' bike ride from Yeovil to Huddersfield!
Entries are now closed for what will be the Club's third charity bike ride, which raises money for the 'Keep It Up' campaign, benefitting local charity and partner Yorkshire Air Ambulance as well as the Huddersfield Town Academy.
22 took part in the first ride from Huddersfield to Southend in 2010 while 168 went "With Dean to the Withdean" in 2011, from Huddersfield to Brighton. Those two rides raised over £200,000 for the 'Keep it Up' campaign.

The ride will begin at Huish Park in Yeovil on Wednesday 2 May 2012, with cyclists pedalling a mammoth 260 miles back home to Huddersfield in time for the final League 1 home fixture against of the season against The Glovers on Saturday 5 May 2012.
