Overview
Winter Warmers November 28th
WILD DORSET. BIG RIDES. BIG ADVENTURE.
No fuss. No ordinary routes. Just great mountain biking, a proper sense of adventure and bags of fun
Forget the ordinary. This is a full day in the saddle exploring the rugged heart of Dorset's Purbeck Hills.
Fire up the legs and get ready for a proper MTB adventure. Open heathland, demanding climbs, sweeping chalk ridgelines and exhilarating descents – all wrapped up in some of the most spectacular riding country on the South Coast.We hit the trails across Rempstone Heath before climbing onto the Purbeck Hills. The effort is rewarded with incredible high-level riding, wide-open landscapes and huge panoramic views across the Dorset coastline.Then it's time to let the brakes off and enjoy the descent towards Corfe Castle.A quick refuel beneath the medieval ruins before we're back in the saddle and heading for Brenscombe Hill. Another big climb, another challenge, and more fantastic off-road riding as we push towards Ballard Down.The final reward? Old Harry Rocks. Dramatic chalk cliffs, rugged coastline and breathtaking views across the sea towards the Isle of Wight.This is mountain biking for riders who love getting out there, embracing the climbs, enjoying the descents and discovering somewhere wild on two wheels.
