Devoted Lewis Robinson, 32, will rack up 3,700 miles following Blackburn Rovers this season.
He spent four days cycling to his side's game at Norwich City's Carrow Road stadium on Saturday, which Rovers drew 2-2 following their late equaliser.
He'll now spend the next nine months riding up and down the country to the other 22 away grounds the Lancashire club will visit in the Championship this season.
Lewis, from Garstang, who owns a recruitment firm, is hoping to raise money for a cancer charity after the death of a close friend.

00:00A Blackburn Rovers fan has pledged to cycle to every away game this season to raise money for a cancer charity.

00:29Lewis, who often undertakes extreme endurance races, will begin each of his trips from Blackburn's Ewood Park Stadium.
00:36His toughest journeys include a mammoth 359-mile ride to Plymouth Argyle's Home Park on October 5th, and a 289-mile slog to Portsmouth's Fratton Park on March 29th.
00:49Here is a clip from one of Lewis' rides.
00:53Hi everyone, we're just over halfway of today's ride. We're going pretty well actually, we're averaging 21 miles an hour.
01:00It's fairly flat round here, so even though I've been struggling, well not struggling, but I've got tired legs, I'm still managing to kick out a good pace.
01:07Arriving well ahead of schedule for Carrow Road, we should be there in just half an hour's time, so around 1 o'clock-ish.
01:16I'm not even looking at the time, that's a guess, but around 1 o'clock.
01:19The purpose of this video right now is going to be a bit unexpected for Caitlin, to be honest, but I feel like she absolutely needs some recognition here.
01:28In my eyes, I'm doing the easy stuff, I'm doing the cycling, because I am useless on social media. You can probably tell with how awkward I am on videos.
01:38Caitlin is behind all the social media pages, she's pushing the donations, she's pushing the shares, she's absolutely smashed it and I'm very proud of her for that, to be honest.
01:52The cycling is hard, that's one thing, but if you gave me the option of posting on social media and trying to get content and everything else, or cycling 216 miles I think it is,
02:03I'd choose the cycling every time, no matter the weather.
02:06This is a bit of an appreciation video, I'm very proud of her and I'm very thankful that she's allowing me to do this on this journey, but also she's committed to doing every single one with me.
02:18From my point of view, I can't ask for more than that, and it's a great achievement for Caitlin as well.
02:25I mean, she's been looking after her at Fulham for the whole trip as well, so yeah, 100% Caitlin's had a hard job and she definitely deserves some recognition, so thank you very much, really appreciate it.
02:38Good afternoon everyone, I've just arrived in Kingsland, which is beautiful actually, it's a lovely place.
02:46I'm about 35 miles away from where I was staying, got about 30 miles left today, it's a nice 65 mile today, so it's not too bad.
02:56I'll be honest, this morning was a struggle, I think I was just depleted, like I'm struggling to eat at night, which is normal for me anyway, I normally struggle after races or if I'm training for longer endurance events.
03:14Listen, we're halfway through today, so excited for tomorrow.
03:18That's what's got me through all this, just the Robich fans that have been messaging saying that they're going to meet me at the finish line, can't say how grateful I am for that.
03:28So the plan is now just to go and grab a coffee, grab a water, get some carbs down me, and then push on for the rest of today.
03:36Hopefully, actually make a day of today that's just consisted of cycling.
03:41It's so refreshing to be cycling, and not to be being hammered by wind and rain, but like I said yesterday, it's going to happen isn't it, it's going to happen in worse conditions.
03:54Hopefully that's what I get as shares, that's what I get as donations as well for this amazing charity, so stay tuned guys.
04:02Hopefully you've managed to check out my interview with Radio Lancashire this morning, if not, it's posted on all the socials, so let me know what you think of that.
04:12Keep the positive messages coming, and I'll drop another video once I've finished today. Thanks for tuning in guys.
