A series of ‘Explorer’ cycle rides are to take place every Friday as part of the Activate Coast & Countryside project run by Christchurch and East Dorset Councils.
These will allow anyone to take to two wheels and go on a leisurely guided cycle ride and discover some of our local areas. The rides will start each week from one of four different locations in the district and cost just £4.50 per ride.
The first ride starts at 10am on Friday 17 April from Ferndown Forest Golf Club. They then take place at 10am every Friday from the following locations:
24 April – Highcliffe Castle
1 May – Moors Valley Country Park
8 May – Stewarts Garden Centre, Holt
15 May – Ferndown Forest Golf Club
22 May – Highcliffe Castle
29 May – Moors Valley Country Park
5 June – Stewarts Garden Centre, Holt
12 June – Ferndown Forest Golf Club
19 June – Highcliffe Castle
26 June – Moors Valley Country Park
3 July – Stewarts Garden Centre, Holt
10 July – Ferndown Forest Golf Club
17 July – Highcliffe Castle
24 July – Moors Valley Country Park
Anyone who does not have a bike can hire one in advance on booking (except for Holt where no hire is available), so there is no reason for anyone not to enjoy this fun and sociable activity.
The rides last a couple of hours and will use quiet lanes and traffic free routes. They are ideal for people who may be getting back into riding a bike after a while.
