Sorry, don't live in your area but I worked in Poole for a few weeks last summer. Wish I had taken my bike. I found a good few worthy cycle routes and thought the locals generally very friendly.

 

[MadoneRider1991]

I am in Kinson (about 5 miles from Bournemouth town centre).

[amnesia]

Yeah, it will be fun chatting for 5 minutes before I drop off the tail of the group

 

[MadoneRider1991]

[amnesia]

You'll wobble and fall off if you go as slow as me

 

[MadoneRider1991]

[amnesia]

Just pulling yer leg

Ave this month is 13.5mph so not too bad TBH.
Only got my bike a few weeks ago though, so building up to decent distances is going to take a while.

A Dorset meet sounds good

Anyone live near Blandford or Wimborne?

Wimborne is about 5 miles from me... the Fox and Hounds pub (Ferndown bypass) is 15 minutes ride to get to (and an hour to get home !).
