Former Scotland rugby captain Rob Wainwright is set to lead a 300-strong team of cyclists from Dublin to Edinburgh to raise funds for a charity set up by his former teammate and MND campaigner, the late Doddie Weir.
He will be joined on the 800-mile journey between the two capitals by former Ireland and British and Irish Lions centre Gordon D’Arcy, Scotland rugby legend Scott Hastings, broadcaster and Deacon Blue drummer Dougie Vipond and record-breaking cyclist Mark Beaumont.
