COVID caused big problems with this event in the recent past but West Dorset Cycling Club is keen to try and make the 2023 event a well attended and enjoyable affair. The event is here. Participation is totally free for everyone, just turn up at the start and ride. The route map and a downloadable gpx  file are as below and on the website http://gdbr.dorsetdirt.co.uk/ . But, as in previous years, there is a voluntary charitable collection. This year we have chosen the DEC Humanitarian support for Ukraine and set up a website for donations which saves a collection on the day. Please make a donation if you can.

Come and join in this great traditional 50 mile ride in its 44th consecutive year.  There are plenty of refreshment stops on the route and many opportunities for a shorter round trip if energy levels start to sag.
