Stour Valley Explorer

This route is ideal for people looking to take their cycling a bit further. Setting out from Castlepoint, we’ll head along quiet roads, forgotten byways and a riverside path to Throop Mill, exploring the Stour Valley and Bournemouth's Green Belt. There will be time for a drink and some snacks before heading home. Do join us for a great ride which will boost your confidence in an almost traffic-free environment which takes in plenty of gorgeous scenery. If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.
