As some may have already seen on Facebook, Vincent Hounsome is planning his usual ride to Swanage (with a ferry crossing – £1 in cash or card) over the Xmas break – its weather dependent and the provisional date is Sun 29th Dec with a reserve of the 30th. We’ll probably stop for lunch at Swanage or Sandbanks a bit further on.

The pace will be in the region of 15-17 mph, heading out on a fairly flat route via Child Okeford, Blandford, Wareham, Corfe, back via Wimborne, Cranborne, Sixpenny Handley, Shaftesbury – approx 90 miles. Departing from Wheels at 9am sharp, bring lights in case the light fades. The last few years we have split into 2 different paced groups and met at the cafe.
