Starting point




Dorset
DT1 2FN

We've ridden to Wool from Dorchester before, but we're changing things around a little this time. Rather than going there and back on NCN2, we are extending the route a bit by taking in Winfreth Heath on the way there, and detouring north slightly to go past the Rusty Duck on the way back. Also, we will not be going to the 'greasy spoon' café in Wool, but grabbing ourselves a treat from Williams Bakery in Wool and then heading to the back garden of Breeze regular Liz to sit with a cuppa and our pastry, cake, or pasty. What a treat (and thank you, Liz!).

This is a 25 mile route, with some stiff climbs up onto Winfreth Heath. Not for beginners or those coming back to cycling after a break or injury. However, we will be cycling right past Wool train station so there's always the option of riding with us to Wool (13 miles), then catching the train back to Dorcester with your bike.

Any questions about the ride or route, contact ride leader Alison on 07967 094967.
