The Dorset Knobbler 21st April 2013

[wintonbina]

I'm helping organise a 100km sportive taking in the gorgeous Purbecks & the best of Dorset's countryside.
Its only £15 & you also get a free goodie bag & a free feed station & post race masseurs!
And every penny raised goes to my son's foundation the Steve Bernard Foundation which helps youngsters in sport.

I might be interested, I'll keep an eye how this is progressing and make up my mind then.

With a bit more notice I would have loved to do this!

Only 3 days to go and the weather is looking perfect for Sunday... last training ride before I attempt this on the 27th

The good weather has been booked for Sunday. We have a team of Masseurs from the AECC attending, we have a feed station that you won't want to leave & accelerade drinks and we have booked The Three Bears Bakery who are giving out free cakes at the finish plus a goodie bag that's probably worth the entrance fee which is 100% given to the Steve Bernard Foundation so its going to be a good day all round!

What a well organised Sportive that was... excellent signage (mostly) and lots of friendly people taking part.
None of the shenanigans from the locals either, unlike the Wiggle ride last Saturday.

Did OK, and don't feel TOO bad... http://app.strava.com/activities/49917505

I second that, I think I enjoyed it! Much tougher than I expected though!

Cakes and Massage were fantastic, couldn't think of a better way to end a ride!

Agreed ! That granola cake was something else
