That stop at Gabby's was so welcome today. Tim was feeling pain by now.

And it didn't cost the taxpayer a penny 😆
Thanks again for a great ride, really enjoyed it!
Thought your caption said Anna B smells [i]of[/i] dog poo...... that wouldn't be far from the truth! Gloves have gone straight in the bin. Dog owners - even when you're in a wood, you still have to scoop 👿
Bike tan surprisingly well progressed after today! Oh and glad to have visited the legend that is Gabby's Goodies - didn't disappoint 🙂
Hi, Have you uploaded the route to garmin connect as I would like to see the full route?
I live near Blandford and there is a good ride from Blandford Forum -> Tollard Royal

Missed out the first part of the ride (as far as Cannon Hill) sorry....
I'm doing a ride on BH Monday from Tollard Royal BTW

That is a good ride. I did the ride through chasewoods and up to the ox drove last week. The trails are still really clear, but the stingers are growing at a rapid rate 🙁
I would join you, but Monday is looking windy and I haven't been windsurfing for weeks so I will have to pass.
I will keep an eye on the rough riders calendar for future rides out this way.
Thanks for the GPX
How far was that ride??
I live in bmouth, originally from Blandford but not sure on the route you went on!
We chose to ride Ae today rather than even think of that nonsense in London and it seemed a good few others agreed .
How far was that ride??
33 to 35 miles depending on what technology was used to measure.
Ah not so far as i was thinking then! Doable mileage, i will have to keep my eyes open for when you next do that route and tag along if you dont mind!

I regularly do shorter versions of that route on Friday nights. Even through last winter we kept em going.
By arrangement, Gabby's Goodies was kept open for us. It was a surreal sight to see this little shed looming in our lights with cake, bacon rolls and hot chocolate on offer 🙂
ah cool i will bear it in mind. Evening rides are normally a problem for me with work as normally lucky to be home before 7pm.
