This is a new route for Breeze Dorchester, though many parts will be familiar if you're already one of our regular riders.

After leaving Max Gate towards West Stafford and turning left to head up through Lower Bockhampton, we go east on the road with the Rusty Duck and Sculpture by the Lakes, passing open fields. We then ride through a more wooded section before turning right to go past Clouds Hill National Trust property and through Bovington with it's famous Tank Museum. We will pause for a cuppa and chat here in Bovington, at Poppies cafe.

Continuing on after our refreshments, we reach Wool. From here we head west on NCN2, using quiet lanes through the villages of Moreton, Woodsford, and West Stafford. It's a short hop back to Max Gate from West Stafford, partly on the cycle path next to the West Stafford By-Pass.

If you have any questions about the route, cafe, or riding as a group, get in touch with your ride leader Alison on 07967 094967.
