The Inaugural Great Rugby Cycle 2019 covered 1133 miles in March 2019 from John OGroats to Lands End, the second Great Rugby Cycle 2021 covered over 1000 miles in 10 days round Ireland. The Great Rugby Cycle 2022 will cover over 700 miles in clockwise direction around Wales in 8 days, taking in some of the finest scenery (& Hills) Wales has to offer. The peloton will be joined along the route by some rugby legends helping to raise awareness and funds for the My Name5 Doddie Foundation. 

Ireland last year was far more than the challenge of cycling 1000 miles in 10 days. The friends made, meeting those affected by MND, the golf clubs we visited, the Guinness drunk, the emotion of actually completing it and the funds raised. How could I not attempt Wales this year.

Cycling 830 miles from Calgary to Vancouver through the Rockies over 10 days in July was a bit extreme as a warm up. I’m also acutely conscious of all the generous support I’ve received for MND over not just that trip but all the previous fundraisers since 2015. That said there is still no cure and I still want to create as much awareness as I can whilst I’m fortunate enough to still have the health to undertake these mad challenges.

Any further donations great and small make a big difference and provide so much hope to those affected. Thank you.
