We’re The Weiry Old Dod’5, and we’re taking on Doddie’s Triple Crown 2026 — an epic 800+ mile cycling challenge in support of the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and their mission to find a cure for MND.

From 10th–13th March 2026, we’ll ride from Melrose to Dublin, arriving just in time for Scotland’s Six Nations clash with Ireland. The route covers four gruelling days in the saddle:

🚴‍♀️ Day 1: Melrose → Leeds

🚴‍♂️ Day 2: Leeds → Gloucester

🚴‍♀️ Day 3: Gloucester → Pembroke (overnight ferry to Ireland)

🚴‍♂️ Day 4: Rosslare → Dublin

Our team of riders — Ross Young, Fiona Sutherland, Troy MacLachlan, Steven Harris, Helen McCafferty, Craig McCafferty, Fiona McBain and Geoff Pendrill — will be backed all the way by our fantastic support crew: Douglas Thomson, Andrew Wildgoose and Mel Pendrill.

This is our first year taking on the challenge together. We’re a mixed bag of riders — some seasoned cyclists, others brand new to the sport — but we’re all united by one goal: to help find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease and continue Doddie’s incredible legacy.

Every mile we ride is for those who can’t. 💛💙

Any support you can give — no matter how big or small — will make a real difference in the fight against MND.
