Welcome
|
Dorset Rough Riders are an offroad cycle club based around the Bournemouth/Poole area. We welcome riders of all ages and abilities and offer a varied selection of rides throughout the week. Details of all our rides can be found in the ride calendar.
The emphasis of the club is on social cross-country riding but many club members are involved in local and national racing and we also participate in many of the off road events that take place throughout the year all over the country.
We have an active social calendar and our members also have the benefit of 10% discount on parts and accessories at all our local partner shops.
Non-members are welcome to come along to try any of our rides to get a feel for the club. Just contact the ride leader beforehand to let them know you are coming. |
