I spent the weekend being guided around some great Dorset riding by Martyn, Kev and Steve from The Bicycle Co, Poole.
On Saturday we did a big (BIG! 70km in temps of high 20s) ride around the Isle of Purbeck and on Sunday we spent a couple of hours finding the hidden singletrack in Wareham Forest. They booked us into a decent hotel in Poole on Saturday night.
Now, I was very lucky in that I won the weekend through the Tuesday Treats competition on this website, but even if I had paid for the weekend I wouldn’t have been able to find fault. The riding was great, scenery stunning, the guys treated us like old friends…. They even arranged great weather for us!
They do bespoke packages, so if you are interested give them a shout. Not sure about how pricey they are.
