September 5, 2021,Overcombe Corner to Moreton Walled Garden
Ride starts on Esplanade at Overcombe Corner however cycling is not allowed on rest of Esplanade from Greenhill between 10am - 5.30pm Easter to Oct 30th so transfer onto road by Sealife Centre.
April 7, 2023,Weymouth to Moreton
One of my favourite routes in Dorset, mainly because, after getting out of Weymouth it is relatively flat!
