Great Dorset Bike Ride - 2011
Dorset’s greatest family fun ride!

Welcome

When is the 2011 ‘Great Dorset’?
Sunday 5th June.

Where does the ride start?
The ‘Great Dorset’ starts at a Council run car park called ‘Top 0 Town’ car park. It boasts good toilet facilities, a café, and free car parking on Sundays (check this out for the latest information). All in all it’s an ideal place to start and end a bike ride!

Everyone is very welcome
Organised by Dorchester Cycles for anyone who wants to come along. Everyone is welcome on the ride – it’s free – no need to book – just turn up on the day and have some fun!

It’s a fifty mile ride!
Please don’t be put off by the distance involved.
It really is an easy ride if, as intended, you take it gently and take the whole day over it!
If you get away with the mass start at ten o’clock and finish at, say five o’clock that gives you seven hours to get round the route.
You only have to average about 7mph. Take an hour out for meals etc and you still only have to average 8.5mph.
Most cyclists can comfortably average 10mph.

Make a fun day of it!
Get together with friends, family, neighbors and work colleagues and get up a group and do the ride together. More banter, more jokes, the miles will fly by and you will have even more fun!
