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.

DRR CLUB KIT
 

Last Chance to buy last season’s kit at last season’s prices
It’s a deal, it’s a steal, Its sale of the well you know the rest….

Right we are just about to order up some new club kit but we need to free up some space in Robins shed of dreams and clear out last year’s kit in order to get the boxes with this year’s kit in,

So we are selling off last year’s kit at last year’s prices.

We have the following sizes still available:
                                                                   SML      MED     cost            
MTB Style tops long sleeved (baggy cut)
         1            2         £35
Road style tops Long sleeved                         1            2         £35
Road style tops short sleeved                        1                       £32

Also if we haven’t  got your size above and you want to pre order and pay for this year’s club kit then we will be selling that also at last year’s prices..
(This only applies to kit that is pre –ordered and pre paid for prior to order being placed)

So grab yourself a bargain and drop Robin an email with your order, special sizes and orders are also available but you need to speak to Robin also, and sooner rather than later..
social@dorsetroughriders.co.uk

Order to be placed in the next week or two (posted 05/03/2010) For more info on what is available sizing etc have a look here www.endura.co.uk/Dept.aspx?dept_id=134

Wobble Curry 24th March.
 

Wow! I can't believe that the clocks are changing so soon. That can mean only one thing we get to ride in some daylight! To celebrate this (as if we need an excuse!!) we will be having our traditional spring wobble curry night on 24th of March. Starting at HQ from 6:45 onwards heading over to moonlight for around 7:30 for all of the usual fare. Everyone welcome.  Drop me a line at social@dorsetroughriders.co.uk

Or give me a call on 078 2525 3144

BHF QE Bike ride 25 April 2010
 

For any of you Guys & Gals who would like to assist the BHF on this great Wimborne Event. (Over 1600 hundred riders last year). And possibly couldn't be bothered to get on yer bike. Hows about  being a very much needed marshall. You get to see the event from a completely different angle. You don't need to raise sponsor funds.  If you could print off the poster form the general forum and stick it some where handy (er hmm you Know wot i mean) That also would be brilliant.
