Off the back of the success of Rob’s Doddie Cup 500 ride in 2022, Doddie Cup 555 Ride in 2023 and All Roads Lead to Rome in 2024, we are pleased to announce Doddie’s Grand Tour 2025.

Rob will lead a team of Scottish Rugby legends from the South West of Scotland to cover a route of around 700 miles over 4 days, culminating in a celebration in Edinburgh on Saturday 8th February, ahead of Scotland taking on Ireland at Murrayfield on the 9th.

Teams of keen cyclists and supporters of the Foundation will be joining Rob across the 4 day, 700-mile route and we hope you may consider supporting their efforts through this page.

The Aberdeen Team has been set up to show the support of the whole of the Aberdeen community in getting behind Rob and all the fantastic individuals who are taking on this challenge to keep Doddie’s legacy going to eventually Kick MND Into Touch!

Rob will lead the teams into the Aberdeen stop at Annan House on Palmerston Rd, AB11 5QN (Next to Union Square) on Friday 7th February 2025. Teams are expected to arrive from 4:30pm onwards, with the last of the teams getting in around 6:30pm before carrying on to their next stop in Stonehaven.
