The Jurassic Gran Fondo is a spectacular ride through the heart of the Jurassic Coast and the beautiful Dorset countryside, the route combines quiet country lanes, sweeping descents and rewarding climbs to create a memorable day in the saddle.
Designed for riders who enjoy the journey as much as the challenge, the route flows through rolling countryside, picturesque villages and some of Dorset's finest cycling roads.
The climbs are steady rather than relentless, with every ascent rewarded by fast descents and stunning views across the surrounding landscape.
Whether this is your first 100km ride or another memorable day on the bike, the Jurassic 100 Gran Fondo will offer a friendly and welcoming experience.
THIS EVENT WILL INCLUDE A SIGNED ROUTE, A FEED STATION, ON-COURSE MECHANICAL SUPPORT AND MEDICAL COVER.
The Jurassic Gran Fondo takes in some of Dorset's most iconic landmarks and landscapes, offering a ride that's as memorable for its scenery as it is for the cycling.
