Coastal ride to Chesil Beach Nature Reserve

Starting in Lodmoor Park, this is a mostly flat route following cycle paths & quiet roads. The first part of the ride follows the beach roads and cycle trails out towards Portland with fabulous views across Portland harbour and Chesil Beach. There is an opportunity to stop here for refreshments. We then continue back along the Rodwell trail but then veer off to explore some of the lesser known cyclepaths that give traffic free access to the west of the town centre before returning via Radiple Gardens t our starting point. This is a steady paced ride (circa 8 - 10mph) suited to cyclists who are feeling more confident riding in a small groups and which is mostly traffic free. We will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. The aim of the ride is to have a fun sociable ride in the company of other women, build up confidence in our riding in a supportive group environment, as well ask questions about bikes and riding, and make links with others.If the traffic is too much or the route busy we can always get off our bikes and walk with them (for example to cross busy junctions/uneven surfaces).
