Cyclists take to Dorset's lanes for Macmillan Cancer Support

We're warned to watch out for cyclists in Dorset today (Sunday 3rd July) as riders take to the county's lanes.

Riders are raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support in their annual Dorset Bike Ride.

Cyclists will leave Corfe Mullen Recreation Ground between 8am and 10am and head towards Wimborne, and then return throughout the day via Lytchett Matravers.

Motorists are asked to be particularly vigilant as cyclists cross the main roads especially at Red Post and the A350 at Lytchett Matravers.

This year’s ride will once again offer a choice of four distances of 38, 48, 63 and 100 miles for cyclists to choose from.

The routes will take cyclists along the Stour Valley, Winterbourne Valley and to some famous Dorset landmarks such as Bulbarrow Hill and Milton Abbas.

You can find out more about taking part on the Macmillan website.
