A really exciting and great day today!
I was invited to the Vitality Stadium, home of AFC Bournemouth, to meet Scotland international and fans favourite Matt Ritchie.
The great guys from the Media and Communications team at AFC Bournemouth (Max, George and Matthew) have formulated an amazing media plan to help support and promote me in the London to Amsterdam charity bike ride for Prostate Cancer UK.
Matt, who is a keen cyclist himself (read the Cycling Plus blog here), wanted to support and help promote the ride. So before training started today Matt kindly gave some of his time to come and meet me, have a chat and then have a few photos taken. Which then can be used as part of the media and promotion plan that has been put together.
Matt is a really nice guy who chatted about his passion for cycling, and even discussed how he personally would have loved to be part of the London to Amsterdam ride, but international football commitments don't allow him to.
Everyone at AFC Bournemouth are being so supportive. A whole host of players all came over and said hello today, and I got to see behind the scenes at both the stadium and the training complex.
Again a massive thank you to George for arranging today, and I look forward to sharing the details and pictures over the next few weeks.
My personal blog on the training and preparation for the 145 miles of cycling from London to Amsterdam. Representing AFC Bournemouth and raising money for Prostate Cancer UK. This Football to Amsterdam bike ride is endorsed and supported by both The Football League and the LMA. The ride will be led and supported by football legends Terry Butcher and Viv Anderson. Over 400 riders will depart London on Friday 3rd June 2016
