Over 2 days and 200 miles, Maul Together took on an awareness ride in support of three incredible charities: Matt Hampson Foundation My Name’5 Doddie Foundation ❤️ 4ED The plan was for the team to start at the Bridgnorth EDG, ride to the Matt Hampson Foundation, and then head to Kingsholm Stadium, home of Gloucester Rugby — uniting the rugby community every mile of the way. This ride isn’t just about the distance — it’s about raising awareness for the inspirational work these charities do in the fight against life-changing injuries and MND. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/c644fa9e-e69f-49ba-9e14-4d0cd017d91f/WhatsApp+Image+2025-11-11+at+14.37.31_6edcc6c4.jpg Blog - MT3 - Awareness Ride July’25 - Day 1 was supposed to be dry, but as soon as we set off from the EDG, the constant misty rain rolled in and quickly got us soaked. Still, it didn’t dampen the mood — the team was buzzing and ready for the challenge ahead. The rolling hills of Shropshire and Staffordshire made for a tough, steady start — not the easiest terrain and definitely not the fastest — but motivation was high, as everyone was eager to reach our halfway stop at Burton RFC in time for the British & Irish Lions Test Match vs Australia. The team arrived just in time for the Lions’ kick-off! What was meant to be a quick stop for stretching and hydration soon turned into a few well-earned pints of Guinness and a hearty fry-up. A huge thank you to Burton RFC for your warm hospitality — you were brilliant hosts and gave us the perfect mid-ride boost! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/4f7f999c-6adb-4736-93cb-7645927f67bb/WhatsApp+Image+2025-11-11+at+14.37.36_d78339a5.jpg Blog - MT3 - Awareness Ride July’25 - It was perfect timing when the rain clouds finally cleared as the team crossed into Leicestershire and rode up to the beautiful Matt Hampson Foundation Get Busy Living Centre. We were greeted by our amazing support team and Gary from the charity, who had prepared a much-needed feast — plus a few well-earned beers to celebrate the ride! After refuelling, the team took a walk around the Centre, and what an incredible place it is. The facilities and setting are truly inspiring — a space where beneficiaries can focus on their rehab, rebuild confidence, and be part of a community that embodies Matt’s “Get Busy Living” spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/014577f3-3b7e-493b-a8a3-9bee04683321/WhatsApp+Image+2025-11-11+at+14.38.10_120725df.jpg Blog - MT3 - Awareness Ride July’25 - Garry then took us on a full tour of the Get Busy Living Centre, showing us the incredible facilities and sharing exciting plans for future expansion. Along the way, he told some truly moving stories about the people whose lives have been transformed by the Foundation’s work. Many of us had heard the inspirational stories about Matt Hampson and the Centre before, but nothing compared to experiencing it in person. The facility completely embodies Matt’s values — it oozes courage, determination, and his unmistakable passion for life. ❤ Day 1 Highlight Video - Click Here!

We rolled straight from the hotel to the iconic Leicester Tigers’ Welford Road stadium, the former home of Ed Slater, where he captained the club for two seasons and made over 100 appearances. It was a fitting and powerful place to begin Day 2 of our ride — and from there, we set off towards Gloucester. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/38205790-fa0e-444c-b93c-01f00a5a8c67/WhatsApp+Image+2025-11-11+at+14.44.00_79be23b5.jpg Blog - MT3 - Awareness Ride July’25 - It wasn’t just saddle soreness that the team was battling — although that’s to be expected on road bikes. Some riders, James in particular, were dealing with a few other soreness issues too. Having become well practised at patching inner tubes after punctures, it gave Debbie a rather creative idea on how best to patch James up and keep him going! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/808f9b69-6931-4a6f-b9e7-4bbe7cfe332f/WhatsApp+Image+2025-11-11+at+14.37.31_26fbffdc.jpg Blog - MT3 - Awareness Ride July’25 - One thing is certain — this awareness ride was anything but easy. We had to cover 100 miles each day, and while there was a much shorter and flatter route into Gloucester, Dan Mathews had other ideas. Instead, he plotted a truly mammoth course that took its toll on more than a few riders — including The Anchor, who drags heavily not only on the climbs… but somehow even on the downhills! As you can see from the moment captured here, Maul Together is a close-knit team, always supporting one another to achieve our shared goals. We stick together through the highs and the lows, showing exactly what it means to be part of a team trying to do something truly special for our amazing charities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/4ba4db70-a00a-42dd-9d15-d61892662b3a/WhatsApp+Image+2025-11-11+at+14.37.30_0b3fc1d6.jpg Blog - MT3 - Awareness Ride July’25 - We were joined on the 2nd half of day 2 by ex-England and Gloucester rugby players Mark Atkinson and Charlie Sharples. Both are very close to our charities, especially 4ED. We greatly appreciate their effort in joining and giving us the motivation to complete the Gloucestershire hills and ride into the famous Gloucester Kingsholm stadium! Thank you so much to everyone who followed our journey and supported us and our charities! We’ll be back for more soon! Day 2 Highlight Video - Click Here! Day 2 Photos - Click Here!

Day Sponsor: Imperial Bricks Maul Together are back! Cycling over 300 miles from the Bridgnorth RFC Edgar Davies Ground (EDG) to Paris in 3 days. The team is raising much needed money for their selected charities “My Name’5 Doddie Foundation” and “Matt Hampson Foundation”. When the team set off, over £16,000 had already been raised but they knew the hard work was yet to come on the bikes and a big push required to raise their target of at least £20,000 for the charities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/8bf5d711-baa2-4432-8def-6a8e513d1a51/374585956_694426202727010_1559536793077333300_n.jpg Blog - MT2 #EDG2PARIS Blog - Sept’23 (The Ride)! - Maul Together seems to keep on organising their charity cycle rides in the middle of heat waves!!! Blistering heat of approx 35-38 degrees really took it out of the team on day 1! It was a tough first day with loads of rolling hills straight from the start after leaving Bridgnorth and a couple never ending climbs near Stow-On-The-Wold that nearly broke a few of the riders. Just as the sun was setting, the riders pulled into Casa Bishop in Dorchester on Thames. The team managed to cool off with a dip in the river followed by some brilliant hospitality from the Bishops!!

Day Sponsor: Grey Wolfe It was the crocodile day as the team had to be snappy to complete the 100 miles before 3:30pm due to the ferry departing!!! Could they do it!? It was not an easy day, as the heat was back and lots of sore bodies after day 1. The Anchor in the group was tiring but after some big long climbs along Saddlescombe, the team made it into Brighton and onto The Pier. Quick photo and then a sprint finish was required to get to the ferry at Newhaven - 1hr to go! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/b32bf839-f3dc-495d-9812-79a187842a5f/375046444_694933849342912_6113497357470774053_n.jpg Blog - MT2 #EDG2PARIS Blog - Sept’23 (The Ride)! - The team was really against the clock to get to Newhaven and they just managed to get there with only 5 minutes to spare! Once on the ferry, they managed to grab a shower, food and a few beers before arriving into Dieppe and having a short cycle to the hotel - ready for the final leg. Day 2 Highlight Video - Click Here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/13fe3546-ed9f-4298-be47-1e91f0513b14/376288980_696337742535856_2539950977576273401_n.jpg Blog - MT2 #EDG2PARIS Blog - Sept’23 (The Ride)! - Day 3 - 108 Miles, 3,541 ft. Day Sponsor: Holdens Bottling Company Ltd. The first stretch from Dieppe was along a nice cycle path / old railway line but whilst it wasn’t hilly, it was hard work with a constant gradient coupled with the riders tired legs. Then the heat really came!!! +40 degrees and the team really felt it whilst wearing their black kit! The suns rays were bouncing off the tarmac and heating the water bottles up within minutes and it really took it out of the riders. Fortunately Maul Together has an excellent support crew who got the iced towels out to cool the riders down and keep them peddling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/bf795f7b-8c41-4d32-b25a-bd26e2f8414d/Maul+Together+-+Arc+De+Triomphe.jpg Blog - MT2 #EDG2PARIS Blog - Sept’23 (The Ride)! - Paris wasn’t easy to navigate with all the traffic, cycle lanes / pavements etc, which ended in Teckers falling off his bike. The group got split up for a few miles towards the end with only 4 riders getting themselves to the famous Arc De Triomphe for a quick photo! We do not recommend cycling around the Place Chales De Gaulle at the Arc De Triomphe - Carnage!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/adc366aa-9917-4a39-8f6d-e77ef2e50af2/Maul+Together+-+Eiffel+Tower.jpg Blog - MT2 #EDG2PARIS Blog - Sept’23 (The Ride)! - The Maul Together team managed to bring themselves back together for the home straight into the Eiffel Tower! It was great to be cheers in by our support crew along with family and friends to celebrate all together. What a hard day in the heat but it was all worth it to complete this challenge and raise so much money for two great charities. Day 3 Highlight Video - Click Here! The team then went out to celebrate with some cabaret in Paris on the Thursday night following by the start of the Rugby World Cup in the fan zone on the Friday. Some of the team then flew back the following day to play / support the Bridgnorth RFC 1XV! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/452172e5-1bd0-4c60-97aa-c95506ad1d77/Screenshot+2024-01-30+091940.png Blog - MT2 #EDG2PARIS Blog - Sept’23 (The Ride)! - Maul Together in the end raised OVER £22,000 which was split between our fantastic charities “My Name’5 Doddie Foundation” and “Matt Hampson Foundation” - We know that every penny will make a difference. Thank you so much to everyone who followed our journey and supported us and our charities!

What a fantastic evening and it was amazing to get the recognition for the outstanding work the whole Maul Together team put in to raise over £55,000 during the JOGLE challenge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/f70c7255-7d2c-4649-a8dd-5b1999505b81/334768906_504912261625912_6362908365551400182_n.jpg Blog - MT2 - EDG2PARIS The road to the Rugby World Cup 2023 - More recently, there was the really sad news that former England, Leicester and Gloucester rugby player Ed Slater has been diagnosed with MND at only 33. Ed has set up a “4ED” fundraising campaign raising awareness for MND. The Maul Together team was an event partner at the 4ED fundraising evening in Cheltenham March’23. What an evening and this helped spur the lads back into action and come up with a new challenge! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/0ee6f430-1e9a-4e42-a165-ce027093425a/IMG_4713.JPG Blog - MT2 - EDG2PARIS The road to the Rugby World Cup 2023 - Since JOGLE in 2021, the following year was so busy with lives getting back to normal after Covid and many of the team having children, the team were determined to get back up and running in 2023. We put minds together and with the upcoming Rugby World Cup taking place in France, the idea didn’t take long to cycle to Paris ready for the start of the competition. Cycling from the Bridgnorth RFC Edgar Davies Ground (EDG) to Paris in 3 days (EDG2PARIS)! The dates were set - 5-7th September 2023, 3 days, 305 miles and 12,150 ft of Elevation. And that’s not just it, following watching the opening RWC game of France v New Zealand on the 8th Sept, the team will then fly home on the Saturday morning to play their Bridgnorth RFC 1st team fixture against Syston in Leicestershire! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/edbced30-1954-469e-8ecb-84da9a277fa4/346834935_1425412701526996_6209636693855376479_n.jpg Blog - MT2 - EDG2PARIS The road to the Rugby World Cup 2023 - Once the plan was set - EDG2PARIS, the team had to getback on the horse (bike)! It took a few members a little longer to get back on the bike, Jimmy Gore’s bike was still rattling around the back on the teams van since Lands End!!! Once the bikes were dusted off, everyone got back into the swing of it and remembered all the fun we had on a bike but also realised the cycling fitness we had lost since JOGLE! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/4cb7533f-06a2-4125-9611-70a45718ac0c/353852610_646026700900294_8523594959131206723_n.jpg Blog - MT2 - EDG2PARIS The road to the Rugby World Cup 2023 - Training was back up and running. There were a few new members wanting to be part of the team including James Barham who was fairly new to cycling - so we went back to where it all started in 2021 - Halesfield Industrial Estate in Telford, doing loops of an industrial estate to help James get used to riding a road bike! If only James hadn’t turned up with a road bike and clip in peddles but wearing normal trainers on his feet! Not a good start!! Then a few rides later realising that his brakes were touching his wheel!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/d8454eb8-8a95-4f1d-bb52-7e3a86f9acb0/348241477_778871440445150_2814791398406985280_n.jpg Blog - MT2 - EDG2PARIS The road to the Rugby World Cup 2023 - Emily is back for MT2 - EDG2PARIS and as always is leading the way in training, doing some great rides around London and even a beautiful ride from London to Brighton. New recruit Mark Hammond who is an experienced rider has also been flat out training and took his bike over to Mallorca doing a 70 mile ride in 40 degrees! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/36bc6ec9-2f16-4624-88a4-0f93110d72d6/Screenshot+2023-07-04+153511.jpg Blog - MT2 - EDG2PARIS The road to the Rugby World Cup 2023 - Whilst a lot of the team has been doing their own training, we have tried to get back out as a group including the new members for MT2 - EDG2PARIS! Dan, Gareth and Adam took Mark Hammond and Dan Mathews out for a team ride, but really it was Mark and Dan taking the other three out as they are both very strong cyclists and pulled the lads around a lovely 50 mile cycle in Shropshire! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/0b98503e-1256-41bf-a526-abff0176f3f0/WhatsApp+Image+2023-09-01+at+11.29.50.jpg Blog - MT2 - EDG2PARIS The road to the Rugby World Cup 2023 - Ride & Recovery!

We made it up to the top of the United Kingdom and arrived at John O’Groats to start our challenge of cycling 958 miles, 47,675 ft in 9 days! LETS GO! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/10ae6227-882c-4926-8872-4d116f0404a6/219600971_201389358599512_752692623633997388_n.jpg Blog - JOGLE Blog - Jul’21 (The Ride)! - Day 1 - Off we went, cycling 122 miles, 6,279ft from John O’Groats to Alness. Unfortunately Dan picked up a sickness bug on the way up to Scotland so he did the whole day running on empty - as you can tell from his face here!! Even though it was a tough start, we took it steady and enjoyed the rolling hills of the very north of Scotland! Day 1 Sponsor - Antac Support Services (www.antac.co.uk) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/70a84a23-c4b4-458b-b74f-5459f79fd2b7/295928494_430655779006201_2432677055832707432_n.jpg Blog - JOGLE Blog - Jul’21 (The Ride)! - Day 2 - Oh wow that was hard - This 2nd day made us fully aware of the scale of this challenge! Cycling 104 miles and 7,531ft from Alness to Ballater- Whilst it was so hard, we thought it was the best day of scenery, the steep hills going up to the Lecht ski resort were punishing but breath taking! Fair play to Cal Mad - He was a long way behind but stuck at it and made it through without stopping! Not many blokes who are weighing over ???kg could manage to do what he did!!! Day 2 Sponsor - Schwalbe (www.schwalbe.com) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/783c9f95-5e2e-430b-b9f7-edde953f4aed/295622692_430655772339535_506494664805571613_n.jpg Blog - JOGLE Blog - Jul’21 (The Ride)! - After day 2, not many people where looking forward to day 3, more ski resorts to cycle through! It was a great day though, cycling 98 miles and 5,772 ft from Ballater through the Glenshee ski area and finishing up in Edinburgh! Even support crew member Ian George hopped on the bike (for the down hill part)!! Day 3 Sponsor - Edwin Holdans Bottling (www.holdensbottling.co.uk) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/509f5156-f624-4c6e-871e-2a1a04d33084/Edinburgh+With+Jim+Hamilton.jpg Blog - JOGLE Blog - Jul’21 (The Ride)! - What kept the boys motivated during day 3 was knowing a good night out in Edinburgh was at the finish line! After the ice packs were put on the knees, the team went out for a few cold ones and a nice meal. Scottish rugby legend Jim Hamilton came out to meet us for a few drinks which was fantastic! Jim is an ambassador for My Name’5 Doddie and Matt Hampson Foundations and this really lifted the team spirits for the remainder of the challenge! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6017e1e2cbc71f649dae3cc2/a762f34a-d200-45fc-83f5-c240b40884d6/296936124_430655785672867_6958813102369667998_n.jpg Blog - JOGLE Blog - Jul’21 (The Ride)! - Following a great night out in Edinburgh, the team were back in the saddle to leave Scotland and head down to England through 103 miles and 4,427ft.
