DODDIE’5 GRAND TOUR OF SCOTLAND

5TH-8TH FEBRUARY 2025

DODDIE’5 GRAND TOUR OF SCOTLAND

Annan and Strathaven Rugby will be taking part in the 2025 Doddie’5 Grand Tour of Scotland – riding from Stranraer to Edinburgh (around 700 miles) between the 5th-8th February in time for the Scotland v Ireland match on the 9th February.

Raising money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

Team Captain/Support/Biker: Billy Henderson

Support: Andy Black

Biker: Graham Hogg

Biker: Scott Irving

Biker: Tam Sloan

Biker: Jimmy Russel

Biker: Grant Nelson

Plus there are a few already joining the team between Stranraer and Annan

A few of us in the distance past would play against Doddie in the Borders area.

Rugby was fun then and still is now.

We are keen to support the Doddie Foundation in its quest to find a cure and support families who have members suffering from MND

We will put up with some sore bums and a lack of sleep to raise money for for this worthwhile cause and will enjoy the camaraderie of being part of this special event.

WE ALSO NEED YOUR HELP

On the 5th February the riders will arrive at Violetbank, Annan at approx 12pm (time to be firmed up on the day) and with over 400 riders needing refreshments, we are looking for help with the catering/hospitality.

If you able to help or spare some time please contact the team on DoddiesBikeRide@AnnanRFC.com or Team Captain Billy Henderson on 07885 630703

Any help welcome!

Plus if any bikers want to join from Stranraer to Annan and then onto Langholm (and beyond?) please also get in touch.
