Planning to do the MBR Killer Loop in Cranborne Chase - I can see a very long climb on a byway from Tollard Royal toward the top - What about the path along Ashcombe Bottom itself? Could it be more interesting?
thanks,
Gilles
Is this the one from quite a few years back? It's crap.
better go somewhere else - thanks
Go to the Dorset rough riders Facebook page or website and ask on there. They occasionally go over that area and know the trails better.
Me, I live 10 miles away and it is all easily got to from my doorstep, but I hardly ever go that way as I find it quite dull or massively overgrown in places, and the BOATs are heavily used by Motorbikes and 4x4s.
On a road bike though, the roads rounds there are ace!
Sorry was a bit short in the previous post. It's not a great loop. There's no single track and I wouldn't call the climbs killer. And you can't park at the airfield anymore.
Where are based / starting from? Purbeck would be my 1st recommendation. There's some nice rides in the Bulbarrow direction.
And yes DRR can probably suggest some routes...
No worries! I make my mind and I'm planning now Purbeck.
