Let's go to the coast and have a picnic on the beach!
This route has some challenging hills (both up and down) ... up Came Down, then down Coombe Valley Road with glorious views of the sea in front of us. We return by the NCN26 cycle path. You'll need to have some experience of riding in groups on the road, and tackling 'cheeky' hills - not a ride for beginners.
Please have something to eat before we set out - whilst you may want a 'second breakfast' at the beach next to the Oasis cafe (and you can buy a drink and food there if you don't want to carry stuff with you), you'll need to be fuelled ready for those hills out of Dorchester!
Bring water as well as your picnic, and a spare inner tube for your bike please. No need to bring a bike lock as we will sit next to our bikes on the beach.
Ride leader Alison will make sure no-one gets left behind and provide support and encouragement if you've never tackled Came Down or Coombe Valley Road before.
Any questions about the ride, contact ride leader Alison on 07967 094967.
