Longthorns Campsite is the venue for the Rotary Dorset Bike Ride again and we are looking forward to seeing previous riders and new riders on the day for what is always a fun filled event - and this year your supporters can take part in their own static bike ride on site with live music to listen to during the day.  Remember pitches at Longthorns Campsite are still available to book directly with them at a discounted price too and Jurassic Bike Hire will have some last minute emergency items for sale.   Should you wish to hire a bike to ride in the event, contact Nick at Jurassic Bike Hire.  His email being:  [email protected]

The aim is to have an enjoyable day whilst raising funds for Cancer Research UK.

​
This event is well known for the friendliness and welcome of its volunteer marshals and for raising much needed funds for Cancer Research UK so we can help them beat cancer.  Sponsorships raised for CRUK will be much appreciated and will help them to carry out essential research to meet the needs of those diagnosed with cancer, but equally, if riders wish to raise funds for other cancer charities - then we still want to hear about this fundraising too.

Children under 16 will once again have free registration for all routes for on-line registrations in advance – but must be accompanied by a full fee paying adult who is responsible for their safety throughout the ride.

In 2025, we will have 5 routes of differing lengths on offer for amateur to serious cyclists and families - but are planning to add an extra fundraiser for supporters at our base where your friends and family supporters can meet our challenge to raise funds for CRUK by seeing how far they can cycle on a static bike in the registration marquee on site in just 15 minutes to 'shine a light' for cancer sufferers with each 15 minute sessions costing just £15 and all of it will be donated to CRUK as part of the events fundraising for Cancer Research UK. 
This new fundraising challenge and sponsorship opportunity for supporters cannot be pre-booked as time slots will be allocated throughout the day subject to availability.
​DONATIONS TO CANCER RESEARCH UK
If you would like to make a donation to CRUK via the Rotary Dorset Bike Ride with your registration, as well as sponsorship  – please do so as they could certainly do with your support.
