Race 2 Rome
The Dodd1e’5 Gr4nd Slam riders will depart Murrayfield on Wednesday 28th February, cycling 3000km to Rome, via each of the Rugby 6 Nations stadia, in 9 days. This feat is being undertaken to raise money and awareness for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and help find a cure for MND. The Race to Rome Challenge is an opportunity to support the team, get active and ride all the way to Rome without the hills, wind, rain, sleep deprivation and cold of the road.
