the undulating hills and vales of beautiful Dorset.
The county whose landscape takes on a personality
of its own in the popular novels of Thomas Hardy is
just waiting to be rediscovered, when it will happily give
up some of its best kept secrets to hungry, thirsty cyclists.
With so many small hamlets, hidden pathways and a
sprinkling of recognised cycle routes, the organisation

encourage participants to harness some Dorset Pedal
Power and explore the amazing range of food and
drink this uni ue county has to offer.
