Breezing Steady Riding the Puddles

Starting at Max Gate this is a longer ride suitable for cyclists with a good level of fitness and speed. It is a scenic and undulating mostly circular route which starts with a steady climb through the centre of Puddletown Forest to follow the River Piddle as far as Briantspuddle. The route then climbs out of Briantspuddle to follow the ridgeline passing Culpeppers Dish. After refreshments at our planned cafe stop we return via the villages of the Piddle Valley towards Tincleton, Woodsford and West Stafford. The route is steadily undulating, following mostly quieter country roads.
