We invite you to take part in the Dorset Downs Cycle Rides on Sunday May 15th 2011. There are two distances to chose from, the traditional 100km (62.5 mile) and, due to popular demand, we are organising a 150km (93.75 mile) ride for those of you who just want to ride that little bit further. Both rides take you through some beautiful scenery in the area to the north of Dorchester. You will encounter strenuous terrain, with steep ascents and descents, and encounter fords, which may be slippery.
You will need to be fairly fit to take part but both rides are well within the capabilities of a regular cyclist. These rides are not races and should not be treated as such. The emphasis is on self sufficiency and therefore you will need to ensure that your cycle is mechanically sound, take bonk rations, drink and a decent tool kit. The route uses minor roads so mudguards will be appreciated and a few spare inner tubes may be useful.
Riders set off in a group which will split up into smaller groups quite soon after the start. You can cycle alone if you like but much of the pleasure of this ride is the company of your fellow cyclists.
