ride to the rugby

not too far to go

It’s Six Nations Season at time of writing and Wales are well into their Grand Slam defending campaign. The first away game against Ireland had Tˆy Hafan supporters scrambling to get to Dublin any way they could and resorted to cycling the 250 miles from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.

Ride to the Rugby Dublin was Tˆy Hafan’s second cycling challenge to a Six Nations game following last year’s cycle to Paris. And we just about got lucky with the weather which is highly surprising given how dramatic it’s been this winter. However, the riders did have to face a hefty headwind for much of their journey. Never did they let the conditions dampen their spirits though and the participants did fantastically, reaching Dublin with time to spare before kick-off.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part and to White Rock for their planning of the route and supporting the riders on the way.

Paris will be the destination again in 2021 and if you’d like more information on Ride to the Rugby 2021, please email sali.thomas@tyhafan.org.
