Football fans have arrived in Cornwall after travelling more than 500 miles (805km) over six days to watch their team play and raising money for charity.
The three self-proclaimed "non-cyclists" said it had been a challenging journey from Carlisle to Truro City Stadium.
They arrived in Truro on Friday after setting off on the 11 April and so far, have raised more than ÂŁ14,400 for Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) and Cancer Research UK.
To boost funds, Truro United fan Chris Haigh-Prothero, who has incurable oesophageal cancer, asked for the men to take his team's scarf to be signed at the Truro City v Carlisle United match on Saturday.
Dean Haughan said none of them were "really cyclists" [BBC]
Carlisle United fan Dean Haughan said the charity ride was called Truro or Bust.
He said: "None of us are really cyclists.
"We did a bit of training before for about six months, so it has been a challenge for us."
Haughan cycled with brother Brian Haughan and Ian Shaw, with Mark Herring driving a support vehicle. David Mason had due to be riding but broke his leg so joined Herring as a navigator.
Haigh-Prothero, who now lives in Carlisle, said he was unable to attend the game in Cornwall, and wanted the signed scarf to be raffled for the charities.
His daughter Heather Haigh-Prothero said the men bringing the scarf to the match felt as if they were representing her dad "in spirit".
She said: "It's great for dad, it's made his day, it's made my day and I really hope they do well and make a lot of money."
