The Routes

There are three Doddie’5 Ride distance options – the 93 mile Doddie’5 Big Yin, the 60 mile Doddie’5 Classic and the 22 mile Doddie’5 Challenge. All three distances start and finish at Melrose RFC.

Doddie’5 Big Yin follows the Classic route until Kelso where it branches off on a 33 mile loop via Coldstream before rejoining the Classic towards a well earned lunch at Jedforest RFC.

Doddie’5 Classic takes riders through the beautiful countryside of the Scottish Borders via Earlston, Kelso, Jedburgh and Hawick.

Doddie’5 Challenge follows the Classic route through Earlston until Smailholm where it heads west and back to Melrose and a chance for tired legs to recover.
