2025 Great Dorset Bike Ride

Traditional ride, 46th wonderful year, open to all and free. Just turn up with your bike or ebike at Top o' town car park in Dorchester and ride the route at your own pace. In recent years there has been a great turn out. . This year we hope to build on that success. The event is free of registration fees and details but, as in previous years, we are requesting charitable donations to the British Red Cross - the Just Giving website. 

Please ensure you know the route because there are no route markers, as usual. It is a good idea to take sufficient water and your mobile with you, but the route takes you past many facilities offering refreshments of different kinds. There are also many opportunities to shorten the route should you wish.  Please see the ride website.
