Introducing VSN - Sponsor

Next up, we are delighted to introduce VSN, who have provided our training and ‘off bike kit – all 31 lots of it! VSN is a leading, independent sportswear who specialise in designing, manufacturing, and selling bespoke teamwear for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities.

A speciality and focus of their design teams is the introduction of highly functional but design-led kit in recycled textiles, helping customers minimise their carbon-footprint – just like deciding to cycle to Rome rather than get on an aeroplane!!

They are a community focussed business, working with and supporting a range of charities and youth-focussed organisations, particularly in West-Central Scotland. But their reach extends far and wide, supplying international teams such as Namibia in the 2023 RWC, Northern Ireland at the last Commonwealth Games, and Scotland at various World Curling Championships.

Mark Walker, from VSN tells us:

“It’s been a real pleasure to have been asked to be involved in “Dodd1e’5 Gr4nd S7am – the All Roads Lead to Rome” challenge. An inspirational character both on and off the field, Doddie reflected all that’s good about Scotland, Scots and the sport of Rugby Union so we’re absolutely delighted to play a modest supporting role in this quite fantastic endeavour!!

To the cyclists, support staff and the very hard-working team that have done so much in the background, our very best wishes for a successful, safe and highly enjoyable escapade!!”
