Description

This is Part 1 of a long ride through the Scottish Borders. It was a sponsored Bike ride in commemoration of Doddie Weir, a scottish international rugby player (No:5), who developed Motor Neurone Disease(MND). He set up a foundation to fund research into MND and this is the annual fundraising bike ride for 2023. The whole ride is split into 4 parts, riding between the rugby clubs in the Borders, Melrose, Kelso, Jedburgh and Hawick. Quite a lot of climbing in total with poor road surfaces and a lot of wind, so hard work but it was an enjoyable day out for a good cause.
