More Fun for the Family Ride

This year we have totally redesigned our Rides.

The 50 Mile Ride now heads towards Sixpenny Handley with the stunning countryside of Rushmore Park. The ride takes you over the Chalke Valley towards Tisbury where there will be refreshments. After this, you cycle North following the Fonthill Lake heading towards Hindon then onwards riding through beautiful Wiltshire countryside back to Shaftesbury and the ultimate finish up Gold Hill.

Have fun with our new 20 Mile Gravel Ride which will take you through the Donheads and past historic Wardour Castle. The half way point is at Tisbury where you will be offered refreshments. After a nice break, the ride takes you past Hatch House, Semley back to the final challenge ridiing up iconic Gold Hill.

The Family Ride is perfect for young families. The route is on a couple of miles of minor town roads heading towards Shaftesbury Primary School where the Rotary will have cycling challenges for your family. Then there is a three mile ride, again on minor town roads, heading back to Gold Hill where all your family will receive a very well deserved medal.
