Description

This is Part 4, the final part, 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. This, along with part 1, was the most enjoyable although, by this time, the uphills were getting harder, but more of a tailwind.
