The Road to Twickenham 750-mile charity cycle challenge saw hundreds of cyclists unite to raise funds for Wooden Spoon and Premiership Rugby Club Foundations

It was a bold undertaking. Over eight days, a core group of rugby legends cycled the Gallagher trophy more than 750 miles, from Newcastle Falcons to Twickenham Stadium, in time for the Gallagher Premiership Rugby Final. On route, the riders stopped at each Premiership Rugby Club to meet a group of day riders, who kept their spirits high for each leg of the journey. The riders were blessed with glorious weather during the challenge as they tackled strenuous hill climbs and passed iconic landmarks. Supporters cheered them on as the riders reached their destination and delivered the trophy into the Twickenham Stadium.

A huge thank you to Gallagher who organised the Road to Twickenham

Former Bath and England international rugby player Lee Mears shares his thoughts on the The Road to Twickenham:

“Anything that involves Wooden Spoon deserves my support as the charity stands for everything that I stand for. I have done lots of events for the charity in the past and it is always a great chance to meet up with old friends and raise money for a fantastic cause. “When I heard about the cycle ride and thought about the chance to have a laugh while stopping at various Premiership grounds, it was an easy decision to join in.”
