The 31st Great Dorset Bike Ride
Get ready for Dorsets premier FREE bike ride! Starting at 10am Top 'o Town car park in Dorchester on Sunday June 6th.
Everyone is very welcome to come and join in in what must be Dorsets longest running bike ride. All abilities from leisure cyclist to commited cycle enthusiast are able to ride along the fully signposted route starting in Dorchester, and heading east through Bockhampton, Tincleton, Waddock Cross, Clouds Hill, Wareham, Arne, Corfe Castle, Church Knowle, East Stoke, Wool, Moreton and then finally West Stafford and back to Dorchester!
The route has changed a little at the begining so as to avoid the Stinsford roundabout. So we will now be going out of Dorchester past the Thomas Hardy pub and along the West Stafford bypass and turning left heading for Higher Bockhampton, just look out for the signs.
Check out our page on this site for more info.
We will make a collection for the MS Society again this year.
See you at the start! |

Have your say on Dorset's Cycle Network.
Dorset County Council is keen to encourage people to cycle more often by making it easier and safer to reach key destinations by bicycle. To achieve this goal they want to define a county wide cycle network and delivery plan for future routes and improvements. This is where they need our help; they would like to know where you would like to see new cycle routes in your area.
So click on this link....
DORSET COUNTY COUNCIL
And you can submit your ideas for a cycle route you would like to ride on! Don't sit back on this, the cut off date is mid February and its not often that the council ask! |
Have you checked out the Trek and Giant pages recently?
We have just begun to put all our stock bikes on this site, so you can see what we have and how much from the comfort of your armchair, kitchen table etc!
All the Trek bikes are now on there, and Giant is almost there. Specials, one offs and second hand bikes to follow (it takes a lot of time!)
If you click on most of the pics they will take you to the manufacturers sites where there is even more information.
The Sale bikes are one offs and once they have gone....
Keep checking back as we add more info!

Dorchester Car Parking
You may have seen the new meters or heard of Dorchesters new on street car parking charges. Park outside our shop and its 40p for half an hour or 60 pence for an hour. Thats if the machine works! (when it rains the paper 'cockles up' inside and won't print!)
To avoid this charge why not use our car park? Its next to Car Radios Dorchester (our next door neighbour!) They use the side and our car park is across the back. There is a sign.
If you feel as strongly about these ridiculous parking charges do let your local councillor know, they voted this in and they have the power to change it! |

What a great ride!
Apart from the wet bits it was a great days ride! We had a great send off from our Town Crier Alistair Chisholm and it took the estimated 225 - 250 cyclists almost 2 minutes to stream out of the car park and off through the town.
After 47.5 miles of cycling (and i am sure many pub/tea shop stops!) the finishers all received a certificate from Anne and Peter at the finish!
I have uploaded the pics i took into a Flickr account so that you can have a look! Just click on the logo below!

If you have any pics you would like to share, email them to me and i will upload them.
A big thanks to everyone who helped make the day run so well, and also to all the particpants for making it a fun day, see you on June 6th 2010 for the 31st Great Dorset Bike Ride!
Jim. |
