Following the route of Wessex CTC's Audax 100 km Dorset Coastlet.
I started early from the Camping Club's Moreton site and rode to Wareham to join four other Pedallers. We were soon climbing the first of the day's several tough climbs. This led up to the Army's Ranges which were open to cross. Great views and then a highly enjoyable fast descent to East Lulworth. We also visited West Lulworth to view the famous cove. We turned back inland passing withind a mile or so of my start point before heading to the coast at Weymouth. Very busy in the warm sunshine. We sped into town much faster than the queues of cars. I enjoyed Apricot Cobbler with hot custard for my snack, just across the road Punch & Judy were entertaining the kids. WE continued west to Abbotsbury using some roads I'd been on before, before turning up the hardest hill of the day from Abbotsbury to the Hardy Monument. We all walked the steepest bit. Tea in Dorchester with fruit cake before the others dropped me off at Moreton.
