Dorchester to Quiddles Loop

Challenge yourself with a hilly ride to Weymouth, followed by an extra few miles across to Portland for our café stop on the beach at Quiddles. This will be a good training ride for those of you that have entered the Great Dorset Bike Ride on 1st June.

Leaving Dorchester Leisure Centre, we head south over Came Down (challenge for the legs and lungs) then have a glorious descent towards the sea. Passing through Weymouth we then take the Rodwell Trail shared use path to Chesil Beach, and follow the cycle path across the Causeway to Fortuneswell where we find Quiddles Café sitting next to the beach.

After refreshments and chat at Quiddles, we then return into Weymouth to take a different route home, following route NCN26 for the undulating ride across the Ridgeway and back to Dorchester.

This is not for the faint-hearted! However, if you find you can't tackle the return journey you could catch the train home with your bike from Weymouth.

If you have any questions about the route or ride, contact ride leader Alison on 07967 094967.
