Doddie’5 Ride will return to Melrose in 2025 but we’re going Stateside in 2024!
Doddie’5 Ride USA is a charity cycle event traversing the USA from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
For any cyclist this event is the challenge of a lifetime. To cycle from the Pacific to the Atlantic between two iconic cities. To traverse two mountain ranges, the Rockies and the Appalachians and to cycle distances you never thought you could achieve.
Our mission is to give you the best possible chance of completing this challenge. Our team at Ride of the Legends have a vast experience in organising multi day cycle events and this event will be fully supported with a committed and experienced team.
Route: San Fransisco to New York
Distance: 3250 miles/5150 km (average distance/day 94 miles)
Date: May 18th to June 22nd (two rest days, west of Denver and Indianapolis)
Fully supported: Ride Director, medic, mechanic, chef, kit man, media liaison and drivers
Accommodation: Large 29ft RVs
On road logistics will include the route, water stops, lunch stop and mechanical and medical support. Our chef will ensure that your food intake during and after the day’s cycle is sufficient in protein, carbohydrates and minerals to sustain the effort you will be putting in each day.
The charity the event will support is the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation which funds research into finding a cure for Motor Neuron Disease. We will also be supporting an ALS charity in the USA.
