SCC 100 Poole Harbour ride 5th July 2026. 

(Or 12th July if the 5th has poor weather conditions). 

There are alternative routes for those not wishing to do the full 100 route. Please see below.

Please could you be at Sherborne Abbey by 7:45am at the latest so we can sort out groups ready to depart at 8am. There is a green area to the left of the Abbey, please meet there.

Prior to the first stop the route goes through the grounds of Kingston Maurward College. Mile 23. Follow the route through and it goes through a footpath to Bockhampton Lane. 

Mile 29 ish. The Dovecote at Moreton. First stop for coffee and cake/bacon roll. If this is busy carry on to Wool. At the end of East Burton Road is the Jurassic Coast Cafe. You can’t miss it. 

Mile 52. Onto the Sand Banks Ferry. Contactless payment £1. But have cash just in case.

Just before mile 55 is Rocket Rascals cafe which does lite bites or you may wish to wait until Poole Quay where The Deli on the Quay is a good place for something more substantial. There are several places to eat at Poole Quay.

Ensure you carry a bike lock to deter any thieves. This is a very busy place and bikes will soon disappear if not watched. It may be an idea that someone from a group stays outside to watch the bikes and can be relieved once the first person places an order. 

Between mile 69 and 70 you ride through Bloxworth to a junction with the A35. Turn right and just after mile 70, there is a cycle off lane on the left that takes you into a bike only section of road. There are concrete blocks that narrow the lane to stop cars using this lane. You re-join the main roads at Sugar Hill.

Puddletown has a Spar Shop in the High Street, open until 9pm, before mile 79. Good spot to buy some water and an ice cream. Or just before the shop is Athelhampton House which has a cafe that closes at 5pm.

Then it’s the final 20 miles back to Sherborne. 

As this is an unsupported ride please have someone on stand by who you can call if you have a mechanical that can’t be fixed at the roadside.
