Dorset coast ride 26th of aug

I'm unfit so I will join you at the back.

I will probably ride rigid as well - expect half of us will.

Come along, it'll be a good day.

It looks like a fun route, although Hell lane is an appropriate name.

I better get the bike in tip top condition, so the weak link can only be me

I'm unfit and slow and I'm leading so you'll be fine

Gonna check work schedule, would love to ride this as I've walked most of it in the past!
Gold cap hill,s not included is it?

Tc

My knees are hurting just thinking of this

We go around the back of golden cap on the bridalway. We do however have to cycle up the hill to stone barrow

I hope to make this one , may bring the Rat out for a run

Cheers

James

Rode this today and I'm sorry to say most of it is so muddy its un-rideable.
Took nearly 6 hours because of all the walking
I'm going to suggest we postpone this ride until we get some dry weather.
What are peoples views on this?

This is the route.



This is how it looked!

That's what its like around here (probably everywhere) at the moment.

To be honest, its a bit of a drive and my free time is at a minimum at the mo, so i'd rather it was on when the route dries a bit and more people turn up.

I think that would seem a good idea looking at the pictures and considering that rain is due for a lot of the next few days

I must admit that postponing it gives me some more time to sort my new bike out as i was starting to worry that i would be 'bikeless'
