Other information:
The Rotary Dorset Sportive Bike Event started in 2012 with 350 riders and in just 3 years it has grown to 660 riders in 2014 due to the fantastic routes through Dorset’s countryside and professional organisation of the event. We expect to have between 800 and 1000 riders in the 2015.
Although the event is to raise funds for Cancer Research UK and we hope as many riders as possible will raise sponsorship for their ride, raising sponsorship is not compulsory.
